Ming Qing Huang Shan Mao Feng

Huang Shan Mao Feng green tea begins with rich, fat tea buds picked with a very short spur of sprig. This little button of a sprig lightly embellishes the flavor of this green tea but not to the same extent that other MaoFeng – with longer sprigs – are intensified. Examining this tea, note that the buds are larger than the small emerging leaves accompanying them. In spring as more moisture becomes available to the tea bushes, their leaves expand quickly. The evidence of the bud being larger than the first leaf is your guarantee that these leaves were picked as the first rains began and no later. Though more rotund than Long Jing buds, Huang Shan Mao Feng buds nonetheless resemble the petite little tongue of a sparrow’s hatchling. Seven Cups Huang Shan Mao Feng buds specifically have a yellow hue reminiscent of ancient ivory. When infused, this yellow, ancient ivory quality becomes even more pronounced on the buds – a sure sign of this tea’s highest grade. If one examines the dry tea leaves carefully you will observe a fine downy cloak to them. You will also notice that the size of the pieces is very consistent, very homogeneous.
