- Spring arrives early in the misty mountains of Xinyang, Henan. Before the Qingming Festival—when the first tender buds unfurl under cool fog—master pickers move swiftly through the terraced gardens, selecting only the youngest, most nutrient‑rich shoots. This is the window for Pre-Qingming Xinyang Maojian, the most prized green tea of the year.
- Xinyang Maojian (信阳毛尖), also known as Yu Maofeng, is a famous Chinese green tea produced in Xinyang, Henan Province, known for its "furry tips". This famous green tea has a history spanning over 2,300 years and is listed as one of the top 10 famous Chinese teas.
- The name ‘Mao Jian’ translates as ‘fur tips’ and it refers to the appearance of the young tea leaves when they are plucked – they are covered with tiny ‘hairs’ or ‘fur’. This rare tea is very time and labour-intensive to produce, as approximately 50,000 buds need to be plucked to make only 500 grams of finished tea. After plucking, the leaves of this Xinyang Maojian green tea are rolled and pan-fried, resulting in compact, needle-like dry leaves.
- What you’re looking at is the 2026 first flush. Every leaf in this bag is a hand‑picked “one bud, one leaf”—a standard that ensures tenderness and purity. Roll them between your fingers and you’ll feel the fine, silvery fuzz (mao) that gives this tea its name. That fuzz isn’t just beautiful; it’s packed with amino acids, delivering the savory, creamy umami that green tea drinkers chase.
- Open the pouch and you’re greeted with a clean, nutty fragrance—roasted chestnuts layered with fresh spring grass. This is Xinyang Maojian Spring Tea at its peak: vibrant jade‑green, tightly needle‑shaped, and alive with natural oils.
- We adhere to traditional pan-firing techniques to lock in the vibrant jade-green color and natural antioxidants. Whether you are a seasoned tea enthusiast or someone seeking a healthier, more mindful morning ritual, this Premium Xinyang Maojian green tea is an experience in craftsmanship.
- This is Xin Yang Mao Jian Chinese Loose Leaf Tea the way it was meant to be enjoyed: authentic, terroir‑driven, and harvested at the exact moment the tea plant gives its best.

Glass Cup Brewing Method:
- The ratio of Xinyang Maojian tea to water is 1:50, and a glass cup of about 300ml can pour 5g of tea.
-Pour water into the cup (the water temperature is 80~85°C), pour it slowly along the wall of the cup, and let the tea leaves fully infiltrate. The speed of water injection should not be too fast.
-Wait for 3 to 5 minutes, and you can drink the delicious green tea soup. When you drink 1/3 of the teacup, you can refill the water again, usually brew three times.

Frequently Asked Questions
I tried a “first flush” tea before that looked beautiful but tasted flat. What gives?
The problem: “First flush” alone doesn’t guarantee quality. Some sellers use that term loosely, selling second‑grade early spring leaves that lack depth.
Our solution: Our Pre-Qingming Xinyang Maojian is the earliest of the early—picked before Qingming when the buds are still tiny and densely packed with flavor precursors. We also carry out a manual selection to ensure consistency. The result is a tea that’s not just pretty but has the thick mouthfeel and lingering sweet finish that makes Xinyang Maojian famous among connoisseurs.
I’m concerned about pesticides. How can I trust the safety of this tea?
The problem: Pesticide residues are a real concern with mass‑market teas, especially those from unknown sources.
Our solution: We source our Premium Xinyang Maojian green tea from high‑altitude gardens in the core Xinyang产区. Cool mountain temperatures naturally suppress pests, so growers rely far less on chemicals. Additionally, we work with suppliers who follow strict export safety standards. The result is tea you can drink with confidence—morning after morning.
I’ve encountered tea that smells “grassy” or even “fishy.” Is that normal?
The problem: A grassy or fishy odor is a red flag. It usually means the tea was either over‑fermented during processing or stored improperly in high humidity.
Our solution: Our Xin Yang Mao Jian Chinese Green Tea is pan‑fired immediately after picking to “kill the green” (杀青)—a step that locks in a clean, roasted‑chestnut fragrance. You won’t find any sour, fermented, or seaweed notes. The aroma is fresh, inviting, and unmistakably pure.
’ve bought “Xinyang Maojian” before that tasted harsh and bitter. Why?
The problem: Bitterness usually comes from two things: poor‑quality leaves (old harvest, large leaves, or machine‑cut scraps) and using boiling water. Many vendors sell year‑old tea passed off as fresh.
Our solution: This is Xinyang Maojian Green Tea from the 2026 Pre-Qingming harvest—the youngest buds of the year. Young buds have lower tannins and higher theanine, which naturally smooths out bitterness. Plus, we include detailed brewing instructions (175 °F max) because even the best tea will turn bitter with boiling water. Use the right temperature, and you’ll get sweetness, not sharpness.
Last time, the leaves were mostly broken pieces and dust. How do I know this is authentic whole leaf?
The problem: Cheap “loose leaf” teas often contain fannings—the dust left over from processing. They look fine in the bag but brew murky and thin.
Our solution: Open our pouch and you’ll see intact, needle‑shaped buds covered in white fuzz. This is Xin Yang Mao Jian Chinese Loose Leaf Tea in its truest form. When steeped, the leaves unfurl like tiny green flowers—not disintegrate into sludge. We photograph the actual leaf so you know exactly what you’re getting.
The “Xinyang Maojian” I bought before went stale after one cup—no flavor for a second steep.
The problem: Many commercial green teas are either old harvest or processed in a way that extracts everything in the first minute. That’s a sign of low leaf integrity.
Our solution: Our Xinyang Maojian Spring Tea is built for endurance. Because we use whole, fleshy buds from the first flush, the essential oils and flavor compounds are locked inside. Using a gaiwan or small teapot, you’ll easily get 5 flavorful infusions. Each steep changes: the first is nutty, the second more floral, the third sweet and mellow. It’s a journey, not a one‑hit wonder.
