Emei Mao Feng Green Tea is originated from Sichuan Province of China. It is one of our favorite Pre-Qing Ming green teas. It is also one of the earliest teas plucked in China at the beginning of each new tea year.
Emei Mao Feng Green Tea is the most famous tea made on Emei Shan, which is one of China’s four sacred Buddhist mountains. Here, tea grows in the cool, thin air of high elevation and is surrounded by vast expanses of bamboo forest. In these forests, nourishing moisture (known as clouds & mist) develops and rises up from the valley in the early morning and evening hours. Emei Mao Feng Green Tea is a gorgeous tea. Look carefully at this Crisp green lear, curled and sprinkled with white buds.– it is a marvel of tea plucking expertise and careful manufacture. In the cup, the liquor has a sweet flavor reminiscent of delicate vegetal flavors. These qualities, coupled with the soft, vibrant herbaceous aroma and freshness of its early plucking time, gives the tea backbone and structure, like a fine Riesling wine. The taste of the tea flirts with the palate and is a sheer delight. |
