There is something about Fujian Maofeng that cannot be put in words. Each cup of the tea is like universal meditation filling your body with cosmic energy. The time you spend brewing and drinking your Fujian Maofeng is like looking inwards, at least for this short moment during your busy day.
Fujian Maofeng is a complex green tea that provides you with a unique tea experience depending on the brewing method you choose. A short steeping gives a sweet, fragrant brew. Longer infusions produce liquor with a powerful and intense character. Glass gaiwan brewing pleases your eye with the leaves coming ‘alive' as you pour hot, fresh water over them.
One thing is certain - this tea gives you absolutely everything you would expect from a green tea: freshness of flavour, strength of the liquor, excellent aroma and extremely long infusing ability.
Fujian Maofeng is a unique green tea produced from silky single buds plucked one day before they open and hand-twisted to a snail-like form during processing. It has miraculous health benefits. The fact that Fujian Maofeng green tea is extremely rich in antioxidants and makes a great source of vitamin C is worth underlining. Just one ‘but' - Be careful, after tasting Fujian Maofeng you may never want to drink any other tea!
Appearance:
Tea leaves are dark green, thin, long and a delicately rolled. Infused tea unfolds to vivid-green-coloured unusually big leaves. Liquor green-yellow at first and becomes amber with each subsequent brewing.
Taste & aroma:
Fujian Maofeng creates an exquisitely refreshing composition of citrus, corn, nuts and fresh flowers with a brisk aftertaste. Aroma is clear and powerful.
Origin:
Fujian Province, Southeast coast of China.
Fujian is one of the most famous areas to grow and process green teas. The subtropical climate, with comparatively warm winters creates a homeland for some of the best teas in China.
Harvest Period: Spring 2009
