[2026 Pre-Sale 10%] Du Yun Mao Jian Green Tea

2026 Spring First Flush Batch

Du Yun Mao Jian – A beautiful and downy green tea from Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous region in Guizhou

Duyun Mao Jian is one of the top 10 famous Chinese Tea, and one of the top 3 famous tea in Gui Zhou. It is also recorded in the Tea Bible by Lu Yu since Tang Dynasty.

Du Yun Mao Jian is also known as “fishhook tea” or “white hair tips” because the tea leaves are small and curled like a fishhook, featuring distinct white pekoe. It possesses a unique characteristic called “three yellowish greens,” which means that its dry leaves, brewed tea, and wet leaves all exhibit a yellowish-green color. The fuzzy white pekoe is visible in the dry leaves and can even float in the tea liquor during the first few infusions, offering umami flavor and lingering sweetness, along with a distinctive nutty, chestnut-like, and subtly corn-like fragrance.

This Year’s Selection

We have reserved the first flush batch of Du Yun Mao Jian, with the plucking standard of one bud one leaf. The tea leaves of the first flush batch are usually tiny, tender and beautiful. You can see apparent white pekoe on the dry leaves, which is the result of the special hand-rolling process. As the content of amino acid is relatively high, it tastes very sweet and umami. When you take a sip of the tea, it is soft and refreshing, with floral and nutty notes, you can also find a subtle corn fragrance with lingering “hui gan” aftertaste.

Where is Duyun?

Duyun, located in the south of Gui Zhou, is the Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous region in Guizhou, a beautiful and remote village where the ethnic minority group lived. “Du Yun” also means “Iridescent Clouds” in Miao language, as its name indicates, Du Yun is high in altitude, with misty and cloudy weather on the high mountain. As Duyun is relatively remote, and the quantity of Du Yun Mao Jian is relatively low, even though this tea is very famous, there are few tea lovers who have really tasted it. Therefore, we purchased a small batch of early spring tea for tea lovers to taste, also to allow more tea lovers to know and taste this historical famous tea.
