- Description
- Huangshan Maofeng 黄山毛峰 (lit. Yellow Mountain Hairy Peak) is a type of baked green tea among the “Ten Most Famous Teas” in China. It’s named this way because the leaves are picked from high peaks of Mount Huangshan, and the freshly produced tea features fine white and pointed leaf tips. The dry leaves are slightly curled in shape, resembling a bird's tongue, and yellowish green in color, with fine silvery hairs and small golden leaves. After being steeped in hot water, the tea liquor is clear and slightly yellow, and the wet leaves show a vivid yellowish green color, with a mellow taste and a lingering orchid-like aroma. This product was harvested and produced at the end of March, and it is a superior grade Pre-Qingming Huangshan Maofeng.
Shipped in May 2023

Fourth tea tasted from this month's tea box. I would say that it's the second best tea on the leaderboard so far. Taste is very light, sweet and vegetal. I think that it's more swe… more

Wonderful outdoor session! If anyone has more knowledge about evaluating Chinese teas the Chinese way, let me know! I'd love to get geeky about this 😉

I like that these teas aren't as vegetal as most green teas I've had. They're also very sweet. This one in particular was shockingly consistent across steeps.

Spring is here with fresh greens. Good, but still not changing my mind - green is still my least favorite tea type. Hopefully one of the other teas this month will excite me more.

An early morning session with the other tea from this month that I was (and am) really excited about, the Maofeng. It didn't disappoint. Loved it!
