Huangshan Maofeng is one of the most famous teas of China. It is produced in Anhui Province near Huangshan (Yellow Mountain). Tasting Note A good Maofeng would be scalded with water that is over 90°C. The infusion effect can vary from light and easy to full-bodied, dense and memorable. I recommend using 85°C when you aim at a lighter, quicker brew and 80°C for a stronger, longer one. Naturally, use more leaves and a smaller pot, such as a 130 ml gaiwan for the latter. Be reminded to pre-heat the pot thoroughly. A good Huangshan Maofeng should be sweet and very slightly tangy, with a hint of charcoal (old style production always sticks to wood charcoal in production), and yet clean and delightful. The sweetness of a fine one stays on at the throat with a distinctive floral over tone. Health Benefits of Huangshan Mao Feng Tea The Production Area of Huangshan Mao Feng Tea Yellow Mountain has long taken credit for having the most breathtaking mountain views in China, and also the best tea plantation fields with the exceptional advantage of high elevation, warm climate, abundant rainfall, and a large area of fertile soil hidden in the cloud and fog. The Peach Peak, Ziyun Peak, Yungu Temple, Songgu Temple, 700-800 meters above sea level, are the major places for premium Huangshan Mao Feng planting. The best Huangshan Maofeng teas are picked in the early Spring before China's Qingming Festival (April 4-5). And only the new tea buds and the finest leaves next to the bud are picked. Then, get them steamed, rolled and baked in the same day. Huangshan Mao Feng Tea is a kind of Green Tea, you could shop them online if you like.
