Huangshan Maojian Special Grade Pre-Qingming Green Tea

Handcrafted High-Mountain Tea from Anhui’s Iconic Huangshan—Bright, Fragrant, and Refreshing

Key Benefits

• Exquisite Freshness & Flavor: Tender buds handpicked before Qingming deliver a bright, refreshing taste with lingering orchid and chestnut notes. Smooth, clean, and naturally sweet.
• Rare & Highly Sought-After: Only harvested during a 10-day spring window; 60,000 buds are needed for just one pound, making it an exclusive seasonal delicacy.
• Mountain-Grown Quality: Cultivated at 800m in the misty clouds of Huangshan, benefiting from cool nights and slow growth for superior flavor and aroma.
• Artisan Craftsmanship: Triple hand-fried and shaped, producing straight, delicate “sparrow-tongue” leaves that emit a crisp rustle when handled.
• Cultural Heritage in a Cup: Revered since the Qing Dynasty as a tribute tea, embodying centuries of Chinese tea artistry and Huangshan’s natural elegance.

Story Behind the Tea

Huangshan Maojian (黄山毛尖), one of China’s top ten teas, is celebrated for its delicate flavor, bright green leaves, and storied legacy. Grown in the legendary Huangshan Mountains—China’s UNESCO World Heritage site—this tea thrives in mist-laden highlands where streams nourish the tender shoots. Under the expert hands of tea master Huang Shehua, with over 30 years of experience, each batch is meticulously plucked during the precious pre-Qingming period and hand-processed to preserve its vibrant green color, floral aroma, and delicate sweetness. Drinking Huangshan Maojian is not just savoring tea—it’s experiencing the poetry of mountains, clouds, and ancient Chinese tea culture.
