Tea: Huangshan Maofeng (黄山毛峰) Harvest: April 9th 2025 Producer: Master Pan Location: Xinxikou Township, She County, Huangshan City. Flavor Notes: Orchid, Toasted Soy, Popcorn. A lighter late season green tea, this is a traditional Maofeng to meet all of your Summer needs. With a slightly bent leaf shape, a clear yellow-green soup, and a delicate but crisply floral flavor, this is affordable but exceptional version of Yellow Mountain’s most famous green tea. Wok-fried, cold-kneaded, and finished over charcoal, there could not be a more standard Maofeng. Although not the most famous growing region, the local “Da Yezhong” heirloom cultivar is also present in Xinxikou Township. We recommend you try this Maofeng cold brewed or sun-brewed in your favorite water bottle. This is a delicate, refreshing green tea that is not afraid to be over-steeped. This particular Maofeng does not offer a lot in way of layered complexity. Also, we would be remiss not give a shout out to SweetestDew and their Maofeng this year. They gave us this lead and a great introduction to Maofeng and the area. Feel free to try their Qimen Maofeng and compare with the one we chose.
