Elegant and quietly sweet, this Huangshan Maofeng is picked early spring from the cool, misty slopes of Shexian in the Yellow Mountain region. Thanks to the 烘青 (baked green) process, it develops a soft, soothing aroma—think wildflowers, toasted grain, and hints of chestnut.
Brewed light, the liquor is clear and smooth, with a mellow sweetness and gentle floral linger. A refined green tea that rewards both focused tasting and everyday drinking.

Appearance: Slender, coiled threads adorned with silvery pekoe.
Aroma: Intoxicating orchid and fruity notes (thanks to orchard-grown tea trees).
Taste: Smooth, sweet umami with a lingering floral aftertaste.
Liquor: Pale jade-green, crystal-clear.

suggested teaware: Use a tall glass or open vessel to appreciate the leaf shape.

Production Process:

Carefully hand-picked early spring leaves: one bud with two tender leaves.

Brief withering under natural sunlight.

Hand-shaped and flattened between mesh cloth using a low-temperature pressing technique.

Finished with a meticulous hand-roast to maintain fragrance and preserve the unique form—long, flat, and orchid-like.
