Our organic Mao Jian Tea, is an unusual mountain-grown tea from the north of Zhejiang Province. The tea is named for the abundance of tiny hairs covering the leaves when they are picked in the early spring and for the sharply pointed shape of the leaves once rolled in the finishing process.
Green Mao Jian Tea is one of the most delicate green teas. Steeped normally, it produces a lovely pale green brew with meadow notes and light forest scents. The sweet finish and well balance mouth feel add to the delight found in this fine tea. A stronger brew may be obtained using more tea leaves, warmer water and a longer steep time. Even then, this tea is not bitter. An excellent organic tea for those who want to enjoy a green tea without the punch that so many ordinary green teas carry. |
