Mao Feng differs from other green teas in that the leaves, when filled with boiling water, immediately rise to the surface and then slowly unfold (expanded leaves resemble the bird's beak with a tongue) and settle. Monitoring the process of welding in a glass, Mao Feng is for lovers of green tea in China that has adorability and soul. We almost always brew Mao Feng in a transparent teapot.
This tea is produced in the Chinese province of Anhui in the mountains of Huangshan (Yellow Mountain). There the scenic landscapes abound with pine trees, boulders, clear springs, and on the three peaks of Huangshan there are often omitted shaggy clouds, which causes high humidity. By the way, this moisture is associated with a beautiful Chinese legend, which we will cover later.
Grown here, Huangshan Mao Feng was first brewed around the 1050s, and since then it captivates tea lovers around the world for its flavor and color. Then it was called “Yellow Mountain Cloud Mist tea." The popularity of the modern name happened much later, and the event is associated with the name of the merchant Xie Zhengan, which in 1875 began to produce Huangshan Mao Feng in factories in "Ksiyutay."
As promised, we will tell you the legend of the places where Mao Feng tea grows. It tells of a young scientist and a local girl who fell in love at first sight. However, the girl had his eye and a local wealthy landowner who noticed her collection of tea, made the girl's parents make her marry him.
The night before the wedding, the girl ran away from home to her beloved, but the landowner and his servants were killed. She wept at his grave until her tears turned into rain, and the body turned into the tea tree. Since then, in these places there is high humidity and therer grows this gentle, sensual tea.
Raw materials for our Mao Feng tea, are harvested in early spring before the Qingming Festival. For the production of this tea, the only suitable parts of the plant arethe tea tree tops - shoots from one of TIPS and two or three leaves. People who have seen the tea growing at the tea plantation, say that its leaves are similar to the opened buds of orchids. The bush’s leaves are light yellow, and it has a silver-white pile and tips, resembling a mountain peak, so it is called Mao Feng tea (from Chinese "Mao" - the pile, and "Feng" - a mountain peak).
Mao Feng tea, like almost any of the Chinese Green teas, has many beneficial properties for the body.
So we get to the most "delicious" moment - direct infusion. Below we describe the two methods of preparation.
Tip: bring your nose to the cover of the gaiwan, so you will recognize the full bouquet of smells and fully enjoy them.
