On the third day of the fourth lunar month, our destination was Xiaojin County on the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Before dawn, we collected fresh organic roses.

After meticulous aging with one bud and two leaves of Tibetan tea, and being cellared four times over five years, a masterpiece was crafted.
