 Mao feng green tea is a Chinese tea, harvested in early spring with exceptional freshness for beginners and connoisseurs at the same time.

This organic tea has a fresh aroma and taste that is accentuated by slightly creamy, soft notes (when brewed at lower temperatures). It is minimally bitter, except when prepared with hotter water. A classic choice of tea that you  can be drink every day, and is one of the more popular Chinese green teas.

The most famous among teas bearing the name Mao Feng is Huang Shan Mao Feng.

Huang Shan is the name of the region where the most famous Mao Feng is produced. The name Mao Feng actually describes the tea itself. In literal translation, “Mao Feng” means new bud.  It also translates as downy tip (buds have fine hairs, similar in texture to soft down feathers, i.e. feathers under feathers in birds). Mao Feng can also mean that it is a higher quality, ie. class, in relation to e.g. Mao Jian.

Most Chinese tea names have two parts. The first part is the region and the second part is descriptive. But sometimes both parts are descriptive. In Jiu Hua Mao Feng, “Jiu Hua” refers to Jiu Hua Mountain.
