2024 spring batch (Available now)
Emei Mountain Mao Feng Green Tea
Emei Mountain Mao Feng Green Tea, derives its name from the distinctive “hairy peak” shape of its finely curled tea leaves, which contain some white pekoe in between. Harvested in the early spring from the renowned Emei Mountain in Emeishan City, Sichuan province, this tea benefits from the exceptional ecological environment of the mountain. Situated as the highest of China’s Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996 alongside the Leshan Giant Buddha, Emei Mountain offers cool and misty high-altitude climates that are ideal for tea cultivation.
This year’s Mao Feng green tea is apparent in its floral notes, the tea farmer describe this batch as “Flowery Mao Feng”. It boasts a delightful combination of floral notes, accompanied by a lingering sweetness. The tea leaves, when steeped, unfurl to reveal a vibrant green color, resulting in a clear and bright tea infusion. The surprising creaminess and smoothness of the mouthfeel, combined with the tea’s ability to retain its flowery aroma even after several steeps.
