DESCRIPTION:
Maofeng Green Tea (毛峰茶) is one of China’s most celebrated and refined green teas, originating from the pristine Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) region in Anhui Province. Known for its tender, downy buds and vibrant green leaves, this tea is handpicked in early spring, capturing the freshest and most delicate flavors.
The tea’s name, “Maofeng” (毛峰), translates to “Furry Peak”, referring to the fine silver fuzz on its young buds, a hallmark of its superior quality. The infusion is smooth, sweet, and slightly floral, with hints of orchid, chestnut, and fresh spring grass, making it a tea of elegance and harmony.
