                        What are we looking for?

                         For the Early Spring Jade, we look for the ‘Purity of Aroma’ -

                             *aroma from the dry leaf,

                             *aroma with heat over the leaf,

                             *aroma with the leaf infused,

                             *aroma in the hot cup,

                             *aroma in the cold cup,

                             *aroma in the wet leaf
