Spring Xinyang Maojian

This exquisite early spring Maojian presents a vibrant emerald infusion with a lively, fresh aroma. Expect bright, sweet notes reminiscent of spring greens and delicate orchids, finishing with a remar. It leans fresh, grassy and sweet.

Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.

Grown in China. This batch is from the Spring 2024 harvest.
