Another of China’s “Top 10” teas, Mao Feng is produced in the Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) region of China’s Anhui province. The super fine leaves are picked in the morning when they are budding. The processed leaves are shaped like small bird tongues and have characteristics of gold bits and ivory hair. There are four different grades of Mao Feng tea, of which the top grade is reserved for Chinese diplomatic use.
The taste is both fresh and sweet, rich and strong, with a light fRuity or floral finish.
