Smooth fragrant, the nice floral violets notes are still here mixed with marzipan. Floral and sweet and fresh after-taste.

Manglu Mountain is famous for being the core of Xigui. Despite having lower elevation compared to other famous villages of Lincang, its teas are extremely well-known (and of course, expensive, too). Being soft, mellow, and sweet are the characteristics of Xigui teas.
