Organic Yellow Mountain Fur Peak

This tea is cultivated in eastern China’s highest mountain peak, known as Yellow Mountain in English. Huang Shan Mao Feng is China’s third most celebrated green tea, just after Dragon Well and Bi Luo Chun. Mao Feng is well known for its thick, plump, short buds reminiscent of a baby sparrow’s tongue and its exceptional handcrafted processing. This tea offers a unique flavor composition of sweet nutty aromas and round full-bodied textures. It ends slightly dry, especially in the cheeks, but with a particularly warm sweetness felt primarily on the back of the tongue.
