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.

Rivers are of great importance for transport and irrigation. The climate here is temperate Humid Subtropical (CFA), with hot summers of high rainfalls and cool, dryer winters, with occasional snow in the northwest and at higher altitude. Across the year, the skies are mostly cloud-covered, with low wind. The province as a whole has varied vegetation, ranging from tropical to cold temperate species.

At lower elevations, the subtropical forests are home to evergreens, hardwood trees and conifers, lianas and ferns, along with a diverse fauna which includes many birds, amphibials and reptiles. Higher up, deciduous trees, conifers and rhododendrons are plentiful. Oolong, Black and smoked teas originate from the Wuyi mountains, in the North of the province; whilst the white teas hail from Fuding and Zhenghe counties, closer to the coast, but still elevated, on rich, fertile forest soils. Rice cultivation is common in the valleys.
