Huangshan Maofeng Green Tea – First Grade Pre-Guyu Harvest from Yellow Mountain

Orchid and roasted-chestnut aromas, a fresh, mellow taste, and a lasting sweet aftertaste. The liquor is clear and bright green.

Tea Amount
Use 3 to 4 grams of green tea for every 150ml of water. Adjust slightly for taste preference but avoid overloading, as too much tea will become bitter.

Teaware Use a glass or porcelain gaiwan or teapot.

Water Temperature
Heat water to 75–85°C. Avoid boiling water as it can burn the leaves and release bitterness. Use filtered or spring water for the best flavor.

Brewing Steps Place the measured tea leaves into the pre-warmed vessel. Optional: rinse the leaves with a small amount of hot water for 3–5 seconds and discard to awaken the leaves. Pour in hot water to cover the leaves and steep for 20–30 seconds, then pour the tea into a cup or fairness pitcher immediately. Repeat for 2–4 more infusions, gradually extending the steeping time by 5–10 seconds for each subsequent infusion. Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the fresh aroma and flavor.
