Huangshan Maofeng Tea
This is a very good every day green tea, and for this price it is just unbeatable :)
Fantastic aroma with a spring field, straw, lemon verbena, asparagus taste that ends with a light creamy smokiness to it. Gaiwan brewing with 2-3g 80-100ml 90c light infusions to keep it more to the verbena taste, over-brewing makes it astringent and overpowering killing the delicate taste I'm after.
I think the 2017 AAA grade is even better than 2016. More flavorful and intense, good for 3 steepings. My second favorite green tea, I highly recommend it.
I love the flavour of the Huangshan Maofeng tea, and am amazed that it can be so economical! Recently, I got sick with a flu that took away my appetite, even for tea, for two weeks. When my desire for tea returned, I brewed up some of this tea, and noticed something special: I had been feeling quite low, and could not get rid of a headache. As soon as I had drunk my tea, I was conscious of an all over gentle uplift, and my headache medication started to work. Having gone without tea for a period, I believe that I was like a clean slate, as it were, and keenly noticed the great benefit and after-feeling of drinking my green tea! As a bonus, I can always make 3 good infusions, even with this economical tea, w! hich does not go bitter, even when left to brew longer than normally.
I like this tea. It tastes harsher than Moli Jinzhen, not as smooth. The flavor doesn't linger as long as Moli and not as calming.
Always great value. Thank you Julian and team.
Where else are you going to get such good tea delivered right to your door?
Occasionally I buy some of the more expensive green teas because I want to learn more about the varieties and tastes.
Anyway, this is great daily tea for me and I always like to ask guests if they'd like to enjoy a cup of tea with me and people never fail to enjoy.
Absolutely love the green tea I got! The quality is superb!! Thank you so much! Will definitely purchase again.
My One-Stop shopping for the best green tea in the world. Many different green teas to choose from. Some Less expensive, some a little bit more. But definitely the best tasting and most uplifting green tea I've been able to get anywhere. I'm a return and committed loyal customer.
Great tea. I get this one because I like to drink a lot of green tea and this puts it more at my affordability level.
I boil 2 cups of water in the microwave and then steep 3g's tea for about 7 minutes. I like it a little strong/astringent. I then pour it over ice and have it for the rest of the day or until i need to make more.
(I know it sacrilege to ice it down but its hot where I live and often goes down better cold--I drink it hot too).
I like the aroma of this tea--assertive roasted green tea goodness. Steeps to a golden yellow and makes you feel fine.
Always good teas from Julian and his friends at the amazing green tea web site.
The Huangshan Maofeng is quite good, though I still think the A grade has superior flavor. I just use more of the AA grade and it is very nice.
This tea is delicious as well as being a great value. I have ordered the larger quantity for it's value. It is one of my favorite teas.
