Huang Shan Mao Feng Groene Thee

This tea is perfect for coldbrews in the summer, its verry refreshing with a soft slightly sweet and lemon flavor. I don't like it much when brewed hot, but its my go to for coldbrews!

ottimo per sapore e aroma

Quality tea

I'm more of a Long Jing drinker, so take this review with a grain of salt. My usual impression with Mao Feng that it has to be pricey to taste well.

This among the better Mao Feng teas I tried in this price range. Smells mildly of grass but not too intense. The taste is similar: Mild, grassy, but not too grassy with slight citrus notes. No bitterness. I would opt for a slightly higher leaf:water ratio than recommended. Peaks at the second steep, would recommend 3-4 steeps, A delicate green tea and an easy drinker.

Great tea, well packaged.

The delicacy of this inebriating tea can be perceived already by observing its thin and needle-like leaves which, once infused, transform into an elegant and very bright liquor whose color oscillates between straw yellow and silver. The wet leaves give off an intense aroma of fresh grass and dew, combined with white flowers such as wisteria or jasmine. When tasting, you initially perceive a note of warm bread crust which is quickly overlapped by more vegetal notes, to then release floral and fruity ones in a perfect balance in which mango, rose and a veil of chestnuts stand out. The tea is soft and velvety, fresh and refined, with a long persistence and not at all astringent.

A lovely tea that is easy on the taste buds. The taste is delicate, but not weak; perfect as a morning or evening tea.
