Huangshan Maofeng Tea


Huangshan Maofeng Tea, also known as Yellow Mountain Fur Peak Tea, a green tea produced in the Anhui province of China, is one of the ten most famous teas in China. 
 
Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) is home to many famous varieties of green tea. Huangshan Mao Feng Tea is also called "Yellow Mountain Fur Peak" due to the small white hairs which cover the leaves and the shape of the processed leaves which resemble the peak of a mountain. The best teas are picked in the early Spring before China's Qingming Festival. When picking the tea, only the new tea buds and the leaf next to the bud are picked. It is said by local tea farmers that the leaves resemble orchid buds.

Drinking Huangshan Maofeng Tea, it tastes  fresh, mellow with lovely nutty notes and a pleasant floral aftertaste. So it is regarded as one of the top ten famous teas in China.
 
Fuxi(富溪)Town in Huangshan is a birth place where the tea merchant Xie Zhengan invented Huangshan Maofeng Tea during the Qing Dynasty. Xie Zhengan, a major tycoon of his time, was a tea master in his own right. At around 1875, he selected tea buds from Fuxi and started making Huangshan Maofeng. It was an instant success. He became the richest man in Huangshan and went on to own nine tea shops around China. Until now, Fuxi Huangshan Maofeng is considered to be the best among all the Huangshan Maofeng produced in different places of Huangshan. It has much more beautiful appearance and unique and lovely taste and flavor. The Fuxi Huangshan Maofeng is the first crops teas harvested about 15 days before Qing Ming(Pure Brightness).
