The strands of green leaf open like a sea anemone. A delicate arched garland of jasmine flowers lifts slowly from the crown of leaf strands to hang suspended in the water. A soft, supple, teasing, gently fresh jasmine.

Two crowned tiers of green tea strands open in the water, one tauter and dark green, the other lighter and more curling. Within the circle of green, a fuchsia-coloured amaranth flower slowly rises, topped with a jasmine-pale crown. Earthy, subtle and focussed, though less intensely scented than the jasmine arch or osmanthus. A very delicate, sappy, cleansing liquor.

An explosion of variegated green tea leaves out of the heart of which unfolds the flame-coloured petals of the osmanthus. Warm, green-tea sappiness lent complexity by some peachy toasty notes and a hint of umami.
