2025 Maofeng 1st Grade | Green Tea

Yunnan Maofeng 云南毛峰, 1st grade, from the 2025 spring — a special Yunnan large-leaf cultivar, Da Ye Zhong 大叶种, from Simao 思茅. It is not the same plant as Huangshan Maofeng, which is what makes this tea curious: familiar name, different leaf, different drink.

Expect magnolia floral lift with vegetal and corn notes, mellow umami, and a green asparagus edge. The liquor runs broader and spicier than eastern Chinese greens, the way Yunnan leaf often does.

We picked this grade for the elegant aroma that rises from the brewed cup and lasts — that is what made the lot worth keeping.

Grootte:

Maofeng green tea brings you the essence of spring. The shape of the finished tea is delicate and flat, with a few sharp edges, and the color is light and smooth green. Best brewed in a glass cup, where you see the mist around the rim and the leaves standing and swaying inside. A great choice if you are looking to recharge in the middle of a working day.

As the classification ‘1st Grade’ suggests, this green tea comes from the finest Spring harvest of the tea farm in Lin Cang, delicate and flat, with a few sharp edges, and the color is light and smooth green. It is from a tea farm that uses Da Ye Zhong cultivar, unlike most other green tea, and gives off a very unique mellow umami taste and vegetal aroma, a must try for those who are curious!
