Category: China Green Tea

Tasting Notes: vegetal with soft nutty + floral notes

Description: A light-bodied green tea with fresh notes of artichoke and asparagus, balanced by soft hints of nuts and delicate floral aromatics. A subtle wisp of smoke lingers on the finish.

Mao Feng is one of the ten famous teas of China, known for its refined character and long history. This tea comes from the Huang Shan (Yellow Mountain) region of Anhui province, where it has been cultivated for over 300 years.

Mao Feng from this region is considered among the finest due to its terroir — the unique combination of natural and cultural influences that shape its flavor. Grown at elevations of 3,000 feet in remote mountain terrain, the tea is carefully harvested as one leaf and one bud, then expertly pan-fired to preserve its fresh and complex profile.

If you enjoy our Imperial Green or Bi Luo Chun, this is a must-try. A beautiful selection for any green tea enthusiast looking to explore the quiet elegance of traditional Chinese teas.

Ingredients: organic green tea from Anhui province China

Steep Directions: steep 1 heaping teaspoon of tea per 8 oz below boiling water, 175°F, for 2-3 minutes

Chloe ★★★★★

I’ve been brewing this every afternoon since it arrived, and the artichoke note is surprisingly true to the description—it comes through fresh and clean on the first cup. The body stays light even after a few infusions, which makes it easy to sip while working.

Sebastian D. ★★★★★

The first steep hit exactly as described — that artichoke and asparagus note is unmistakable but not at all bitter, and the nutty finish lingers just enough. I brewed a second cup at a slightly lower temp and the floral side came through more, which was a nice surprise. Definitely my new afternoon g

Abigail C. ★★★★★

The dry leaves smell sweet and a little nutty, but it’s the second steep where those soft floral notes really come through. I brew mine around 175°F and it stays smooth, never bitter, with that fresh artichoke edge I keep craving.
