Xin Yang Mao Jian

2024 Green Tea from Henan Province, China

This hand-picked first flush tea was harvested n Xin Yang, Henan Province, where tea production looks back on 2000 years of history. This Mao Jian was grown in Che Yun Shan, one of the mountains around the southern part of Xin Yang. Its extraordinarily lush green color is thanks to the deep fog lingering on the mountain. Xin Yang Mao Jian leaves are usually picked around Gu Yu - Grain Rain - time (around April 20), but this tea was picked earlier, before the leaves were fully open, in mid-March.

It is aromatic with a sweet toasty-buttery and fruity scent. The liquor is silky and clear, and has an intriguing combination of floral and nutty - specifically walnutty - notes. The sweetness has a toasty, black sugary edge to it. After 5-6 steeps, this tea still performs well.

The tea leaves are small and needle-like, and as the name "Mao Jian" suggests, there are small furry tips on the inner side of them.

How to prepare


3 g 0.1 oz 0.7 US tsp	90°C 194°F	100 ml 3.4 fl oz 100 cc	30 sec.~

STEP 1) Warm a gaiwan or teapot by pouring boiling water into it, then pouring it out.
STEP 2) Put tea leaves into the pot and pour water over the leaves.
STEP 3) Steam it for the required time.
STEP 4) Pour the tea into a pitcher, then into the cups to serve.

❖ When first pouring water over the leaves, foam is created. Remove the foam using the lid of the pot to achieve clearer taste.
❖ No need to "wash" the tea leaves, the first infusion is already ready to drink.
❖ For the second infusion, steep it for about half the time of the first infusion. For every other infusion after that increase the steeping time (from the time of the first infusion).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from steaming too much.

Taste of tea is a matter of preference, so try infusing tea in several ways and find your
favorite way to infuse.
