PUTTABONG MOONDROP 2nd FLUSH

The twisty brown strands enclosing fur-like golden tips exhibit a nose of cinnamon bark and citrus blossoms that spill out a grand celebration of zesty Clementine and waltz with the opulent chocolates and pecans to arrive at a mellifluous finish of orange cream and vanilla.

Dry Leaf

Whole uniform leaves mingle in shades of hickory with furry golden tips to embody a cozy sweetness of vanilla and orange cream.

Infusion

Full leaves flare open into ganache-like shiny leaves with numerous buds that tickle with fresh floral whiffs of citrus blossoms and a slightly earthy richness of malty pecans.

Liquor

A shiny sunset gold with a mellow body of smooth muscatel fruits relished by fresh citrus impressions of Clementine. A note of crisp woodiness evokes a rounded sweetness for an unforgettable cream finish at the back of the mouth.
