Our Xin Yang Mao Jian offers a surprisingly rich and robust flavour that sets it apart from other green teas. The long and thin dry leaves are unique to this spring-picked Xinyang Maojian, and reveal their vibrant green colour when infused in hot water. Besides steeped hot, we also recommend to try cold-brewing our Xin Yan Mao Jian to enjoy during hot summer days.
History
With over a thousand years of production experience, the origins of this tea traces back to 1903 when tea masters from Anhui were brought in by the government to improve growing and production techniques. It quickly gained recognition within the country and captured international attention by winning a gold medal at the 1915 World Expo in San Francisco. Today, it is still one of China's top ten teas, and a sought-after favorite among tea lovers.

How this green tea is made
-
Picking
Tea leaves are hand-picked in the morning.
-
Withering
Leaves are shortly withered to eliminate some moisture.
-
Fixation (pan-frying)
Leaves are roasted on a wok to halt oxidation.
-
Rolling
Tea leaves are rolled to shape them as desired.
-
Drying
Tea leaves are dried to reduce moisture to a minimum.
The dry leaves are small, thin, shiny and rolled, emerald green in color, from which emerge silvery shades that are pleasing to the eye. When infused, carried out in gongfucha at 80°C with an initial infusion of about 10 seconds, the leaves open, revealing a vibrant green color that diffuses an extremely pleasant soft floral fragrance. The very bright and clear liqueur has yellowish green tones and appears medium dense and, when tasted, it offers the palate with greater intensity the same emotions previously given to the nose. The fresh and sweet basic flavor lets floral and vegetal notes emerge that mix together with great balance and a medium persistence that leads to a hazelnut aftertaste. The most beautiful aspect of this tea is the sensation of peace and relaxation that it produces, both when preparing it and then tasting it.
What a wonderful, detailed and poetically written review. We love it and we're sure those who buy this tea after you will find it useful. Thank you so much.
Reminiscent of long jing, but with a hint of seaweed
Beautiful fruity green tea. I'm looking forward to having it again.
Very nice and subtle, beautiful flavors, deep
For me, this green tea is a kind of 'bread and butter' commodity. Not a 'grand cru des thés' which would distinguish with an outstanding smell, taste, color or anything else that could be fantasized into it. Nevertheless, it's a pleasant potation, in particular if it's accompanying some cookies.
Wonderful tea, highly recommended!
a very nice tea with a strangely delicious, walnut-like flavours
Our design work is inspired by the artwork “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” by the Zhang Zeduan in the Song Dynasty. Instead of displaying the daily lives of people in the capital of China (as the original artwork), we display the tea making process of farmers through the same bird’s eye perspective.
When examining our packaging design in detail, tea enthusiasts will observe the tea making process, featuring tea farmers picking, drying, rolling, and frying tea leaves. The tea is then tasted in a pavilion and transported by horses along the ‘ancient tea road’.
Together, the traditional Chinese landscape and tea making theme, symbolise heritage, tradition, and respect for hard work of tea farmers.
