- 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.
