The origins of our Mao Feng Green Tea

Light, fruity and wonderfully smooth, our delicious No. 60 Mao Feng green tea is an excellent example from the ancient tea plantations found deep in the mountains of Fujian Province, China.

Harvested from the Anhui cultivar in early Spring, our Mao Feng tea is gently rolled by hand, mildly oxidised and steamed. The result is a large emerald, gloriously downy twisted loose leaf which infuses to produce a bright golden infusion that bursts full of flowery aromatic fragrance. This Chinese green tea has a flavour unlike any other within its category. Because of this, it is ideal for tea explorers who want to sample something entirely unique and unexpectedly floral but are overwhelmed by the umami depth of other popular green teas.

Once you have brewed this loose-leaf, you will be delighted to know that it can be rebrewed and enjoyed again. And for lovers of cold brews, we recommend that you try this infusion, both hot and cold.

Region

Fujian is a coastal province in Southeastern China on the shores of the South China sea, facing the 110 mile-wide Taiwan Strait. The province is mostly mountainous and heavily covered in dense forests. The elevation varies from sea level to 2,174m at the peak of Mount Huanggang, in the Wuyi Mountains, offering a formidable natural barrier between the coast and the interior of China.
