Mao Feng

Mao Feng brews a pale gold cup that tastes the way spring smells: sweet and floral up front, a soft chestnut note in the middle, and a clean, gently vegetal finish that never turns bitter. It's a light, refreshing green with more polish than grassiness — best appreciated on its own, no milk or sugar needed.

The name means "Fur Peak," (or Yellow Mountain Fur Peak) for the fine downy hairs that cover the young leaves. Ours is Grade A: long, slender, slightly twisted leaves picked in the Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) region of Anhui, where high elevation, near-constant mist and rich soil slow the leaf's growth and concentrate its sweetness. It's one of China's most celebrated green teas, and this is the classic expression of it.

Note: Mao Feng rewards gentle brewing. Use water at 80–85°C — just off the boil and rested a minute — and steep 2 to 3 minutes. The leaves are good for a second infusion, which trades a little aroma for a rounder, sweeter cup. Light in caffeine, it makes an easy all-afternoon tea. It also makes a wonderfully refreshing iced tea.

Mao Feng tea is a type of Chinese green tea known for its unique appearance, delicate flavor, and high-quality leaves. Its unique appearance, combined with its delightful flavor and aroma, make it a sought-after green tea variety for those looking to experience the finest offerings of Chinese tea culture.
Mao Feng tea is characterized by its long, slender, and slightly twisted tea leaves. The name "Mao Feng" translates to "Fur Peak," which alludes to the fine, downy hairs on the young tea leaves. It is primarily produced in the Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) region of Anhui province in China. This region's high elevation, misty climate, and rich soil contribute to the tea's exceptional quality.
Mao Feng tea is known for its mild, sweet, and slightly floral flavor profile. It has a refreshing and clean taste with a subtle vegetal undertone. The tea's flavor is often described as grassy, nutty, or even slightly fruity, depending on the specific region and production methods.
When brewed, Mao Feng tea releases a fragrant aroma that is both fresh and invigorating. The aroma can be reminiscent of springtime blossoms and hints of chestnut.

Like other green teas, Mao Feng tea is rich in antioxidants, particularly catechins, which are believed to offer various health benefits. These may include promoting heart health, aiding in weight management, and providing a gentle energy boost due to its moderate caffeine content.

Breakfast Tea: It Was Always English

In the days when England ruled the world, there was no reason to specify that something was or was not “English” – it was simply assumed that it was. Therefore the famous morning beverage that we know as English Breakfast Tea was merely called Breakfast Tea in England, the quintessential representation of British teatime culture. Contrary to popular belief, however, English Breakfast Tea did not get its start in England, but rather in America, where as early as Colonial Times colonists referred to this slightly sweet, strong black liquid as a representation of the mother culture...
