Xinyang Maojian (Hairy Tips) Green Tea 2025

A renowned early-harvest green tea from Henan Province. Thin, pointed leaves with white fuzz produce a clear, pistachio-green infusion. The aroma reveals the crisp freshness of wildflowers and roasted seeds. The flavor is rich, slightly oily, with hints of young peas and chestnut, and a subtle, refined astringency in the finish. Temperature: 75–80°C Teaware: porcelain gaiwan, thin-walled glass Tip: Steeping for 8–10 seconds will highlight the nutty, chestnut-like sweetness without making the infusion too astringent.
