Nose
Opulent and fresh aromas have a delicate aire to them, reminiscent of lavender powder, lilacs, and other fresh spring flowers. Refreshing and other-worldy to smell.
Taste
Equally fresh and uplifting flavors of pear, tender young herbs, and the faintest gentle smoke are pretty. Pineapple rind provides earthy texture along with hibiscus on the tangy and medium length finish.
