After brewing, the color of the tea soup gradually deepens from light yellow - green to deep yellow, becoming increasingly clear and transparent. The taste is full - bodied, mellow, warm, and fragrant. It combines the delicate fragrance of oolong tea with the richness of Pu'er tea, leaving a long - lasting after - taste and a pleasant aroma between the teeth and cheeks. Its aroma is distinctive. Initially, it gives off a honey - like fragrance, followed by a delicate fruity or floral aroma.

According to folklore, the entire production process of this tea avoids sunlight. The tea is picked and dried only under the moonlight, and it is picked by beautiful young girls. Therefore, it is also called "Moonlight Beauty".
