Description
Maofeng means “fur peak,” which describes the appearances of these tea leaves. When it comes time to harvest this tea, only the buds with two newly opened leaves are picked. Local farmers often say that the leaves resemble orchid buds.
Huangshan is one of the most famous green teas from China. Located in Anhui, the area is also well known for its magnificent scenery made up of many granite peaks and rocks emerging out of a sea of clouds. Every year, Huangshan attracts millions of travelers from around the world to see its iconic beauty.

Very fresh, the best full leaf tea I’ve bought ever!
My favorite! Light and fresh!
Huangshan Maofeng (2021) has a wonderful silky mouthfeel. In aroma and flavor, it’s floral-forward, with vegetal background notes–like a flower garden on the edge of a vegetable patch. Really lovely. I enjoyed many sessions over a few weeks before sharing my review. I settled on steeping it with 3.5 grams at 75C for 1.5 minutes in my porcelain gaiwan (about 175 ml). I also enjoyed a second steep at the same temperature and amount of time. I received this tea for free, with no obligation to post unless I sincerely enjoyed it, which I did.
