dry leaf
Untreated stone linen with a crisp, slightly nubby hand — the dancong sprig motif printed in a muted charcoal that deepens with touch.
wet leaf
After a gentle rinse, the fabric relaxes without losing structure; the ink sits flush against the flax, its ferrous undertone quietly intensified.
liquor
Visually, a balanced square of soft mineral grey, carrying a single-line botanical drawing that echoes the organic contours of a pressed tuocha.
aroma
No added scent — only the faint, clean smell of natural linen, reminiscent of a sun‑warmed tea tray after a morning session.
taste
The drape is pliant enough to fold tidily around a 100g or 250g cake, yet firm enough to hold a simple twine tie. The 28cm diagonal gives generous overlap without bulk.
finish
The cloth’s heft is modest but certain in the hand — the iron‑ink design endures through countless wrappings, acquiring a softer patina over time.
