Exquisite Chinese Green Tea from the Misty Peaks of Huangshan

Why You’ll Love This Tea

  • Rare Spring Harvest – Handpicked only 20 days before Grain Rain (Gu Yu), requiring over 40,000 tender buds for just one pound of tea.
  • Grown in High Mountain Clouds – From Huangshan’s 800m misty slopes, where cool nights and fresh mountain air nurture thicker, sweeter buds.
  • Unforgettable Taste – A bright, clear liquor with notes of orchid and roasted chestnut, lingering sweetness, and a refreshing finish that lasts for hours.
  • Artisanal Craftsmanship – Triple hand-fired to create the signature “sparrow tongue” shape; dry leaves release a crisp, sand-like sound when shaken.
  • A Living Heritage – Once a tribute tea of the Qing Dynasty, Huangshan Maojian remains one of China’s Ten Famous Teas, treasured for centuries.

A Story in Every Sip

In the heart of Huangshan, where ancient pines pierce drifting clouds and streams carve emerald valleys, tea master Huang Shehua tends his family’s tea garden. With over 30 years of experience, he patiently harvests each bud by hand during the short pre-rain season. The result is Special Grade Huangshan Maojian, a tea so rare that each pound requires tens of thousands of tender buds, carefully shaped by hand. Revered since the Qing Dynasty, this tea is more than a drink—it is an encounter with Chinese cultural heritage, a taste of the mountain mist, and a dialogue with centuries of tradition.

Why Choose This Tea?

Unlike ordinary green teas, this Special Grade Pre-Rain harvest is extremely limited and only available once a year. The flavor is pure, layered, and enduring—three infusions still reveal orchid fragrance and a cooling sweetness that lingers in the throat. Trusted by tea lovers worldwide and produced by a tea master with three decades of dedication, this tea offers both authenticity and unmatched value.

Don’t Miss This Year’s Harvest

Availability is limited to the short spring picking season. Once sold out, you’ll have to wait until next year’s harvest.
