Regular green tea can be disappointing, this is a light and pure green tea without the disappointment.
Call us soppy romantics, but we like this story. A young man and a beautiful young woman from a tea plantation were in love, but the local tyrant seized her as his concubine. She escaped, only to learn that the tyrant had killed her lover. Finding his body deep in the mountains she wept and wept until she became the rain, while her lover's body turned into a tea bush. Which is why, according to the legend, the area where Mao Feng tea grows is forever cloudy and humid the whole year round. All together now - ahhh! This tea is special, unlike any other green tea on the market. A green tea liked by people who don't like green tea.

Pure mao feng green tea.
Originating from China, mao feng green tea is one of the most popular green teas in the world. The word mao feng means ‘fur peak’ and describes the shape and appearance of the tea leaves. Basically, it looks like soft fuzz and may contain one bud and one or two leaves. The landscape where the tea grows is in the Huang Mountains of Anhui province. Often romanticised in traditional Chinese ink paintings due to its beautiful scenery, the mountain peaks are covered with clouds and fog.
