MAO JIAN

1.0 oz
$7.50

DESCRIPTION

  • Mao Jian is a type of Chinese green tea that is known for its delicate flavor and aroma. It is grown in the mountains of China's Hunan province and is made using the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant.

  • The name "Mao Jian" means "hairy tips" in Chinese, referring to the fine white hairs that cover the young tea leaves. These hairs are believed to contribute to the tea's unique flavor and texture.

  • Mao Jian tea is produced using a pan-frying technique that is common to many Chinese green teas. This involves briefly heating the tea leaves in a wok or pan, which helps to stop the oxidation process and preserve the tea's natural flavor and aroma.

  • Its leaves are small, uniform, and distinguished by silvery tips. Both its aroma and flavor are surprisingly rich for a green tea. Its almost creamy texture woven with its delicious vegetal taste make it a truly pleasant and beloved tea.
