Straight away we have the dark, concentrated sweetness of prune, robust and soothing. This rich foundation is combined with the subtle, earthy sweetness and a hint of tartness with jujube, adding a nuanced layer to the flavour. Finally we have the distinctive, mellow warmth of cooked chestnut with the yude azuki, which imparts a smooth nuttiness to the brew. It is like wearing a velvet robe to a traditional tea ceremony.
