Maofeng green tea
Product Description
Yunnan Mao Feng Tea is a green tea produced in the Yunnan province of China. The Tea is
one of the most famous teas in China and can almost always be found on the China Famous Tealist. The tea is
grown in 1800m Organic High Mountain, Mao Feng Tea's English translation is " Fur Peak" due to the
small white hairs which cover the leaves and the shape of the processed leaves which resemble the peak of a
mountain. The best teas are picked in the early Spring before China's Qingming Festival. When picking the tea, only the new tea buds and the leaf next to the bud are picked. It is said by local tea farmers that the leaves resemble orchid buds.
Maofeng is one of the top ten greatest teas of China. Its reputation and status can be traced back to the
Qing Dynasty.
1. A type of fried green tea, Maofeng is a living testimony to the old adage ‘famous mountains produce excellent
teas’. Its place of origin is the She County in Anhui Province. Maofeng is harvested between Qingming and Guyu
(a period that covers early to mid April). Tea growers pick the most vibrant-looking buds before hand-frying them. The tea leaves are slightly curled, green in color with a tinge of yellow hue.
2. When brewed, the liquor yields a light green color with yellow undertones. Such colors show the freshness of the
tea. Maofeng tastes extremely smooth and aromatic with a lingering aftertaste.
3. Maofeng tea leaves have a thin layer of frosty coat on their surface, resembling tiny hairs. This is where the name
Maofeng, which literally means ‘hairy peak’ in Chinese comes from.
