Category: Tea

The misty, cloudy climate of the mountainous Xinyang area of Henan Province, China produces this popular green tea. This tea was harvested in late April 2022, both grown and hand processed in small batches by Duan and his family. Mao Jian literally translates to "hair tips", referring to the fine furry appearance of the inner side of the tea leaf. Enjoy a fresh floral aroma with a subtle umami aftertaste in the cup.

Sebastian R. ★★★★★

The dry leaves have a lovely, clean scent of fresh grass, and the liquor brews up a pale, almost sweet yellow. I appreciate that it's hand-processed from a late April harvest, giving it a mellow but distinct flavor.

Hazel W. ★★★★★

Finally, a green tea that doesn't get bitter when I accidentally steep it a minute too long. The leaves from that late April harvest are incredibly tender, and the cloudy mountain climate really comes through in the smooth, clean finish.

Charlotte A. ★★★★★

The flat, needle-like leaves unfurl beautifully in my glass teapot, and the April 2022 harvest tastes noticeably fresh. It's vegetal with a sweet finish and almost no bitterness if you keep the water around 80°C.
