Green Plum

Fruit · Chinese · Japanese · Korean

A lightning strike of acidity defines the green plum, its tart profile slicing through the palate with the precision of a sharpened blade. Beneath this bright, citric exterior lie subtle, ghostly whispers of orange blossom and orchard grass, evoking the fleeting, verdant freshness of a spring morning before the summer harvest.
