The Early Spring Mao Feng Loose green tea was harvested at the beginning of the spring season in Puer, Yunnan. The first harvest of the season guarantees a superb taste, as the plant retains all the nourishment gathered during the winter. The leaf is long and curled, with a light silver bud and green tones. The infusion has a light yellow color and a sweetly fragrant taste. The leaves of Early Spring Mao Feng Loose green tea are long, delicately rolled, and thin like hair, as the name itself suggests: Mao Feng means "hair tips", indicating their tapered shape. They have a dark green color mixed with silver: this tea is indeed very rich in buds, covered with soft, clear fluff. Once infused, the leaves emit very sweet notes of honey and delicate vegetable hints, with floral references. In the cup, it appears pale yellow, almost transparent: it is a tea with fresh scents and a pleasant fragrance, very gentle and surprisingly sweet. The body is light and silky, and the taste is free of any astringency or bitterness. The first infusion of Early Spring Mao Feng Loose green tea offers a very sweet liquor, with notes of white sugar and very faint vegetable hints. There is a prevalence of candied and slightly toasted notes, similar to the taste of pralined almonds. A second infusion gives more character, although the sugary component remains significant; the vegetable notes become more present but still delicate (buttered carrots, boiled chard). With the third infusion, the sweet hints transform into memories of green tomato and spinach jam, while fruity notes emerge at the close, like apricot and yellow fruit. On the palate, the first sensation one experiences when tasting Early Spring Mao Feng Loose green tea is sweetness: notes of granulated sugar intertwine with vegetable hints of carrots and buttered spinach, pleasantly enveloping the tongue. Only in the second sip do fruity notes of apricot and dried fruit become perceptible, always very sweet - the taste recalls almond brittle. The aftertaste is sweet and prolonged, leaving a refreshing sensation in the mouth. Place of origin: Puer, Yunnan. We strongly recommend infusing Early Spring Mao Feng Loose green tea using the traditional Chinese method (gong fu cha) to best enjoy these leaves. Following this preparation, 5 grams of leaves (about 3 teaspoons) can be used in a gaiwan of about 150 ml to obtain multiple infusions with different flavors. With water heated to 75°C, one can proceed with a first infusion of 25 seconds, and then, keeping the water at the same temperature, proceed with multiple infusions increasing the time by 5 seconds each time (25-30-35…). This tea has a longevity of about 5 infusions. For a classic preparation according to Western style, we recommend 3 grams of leaves (about 2 teaspoons) in a 200 ml cup with water at 75°C for an infusion time of 2-3 minutes. The tea can be filtered for greater ease during tasting, and the infusion times indicated above are purely indicative, so adjustments can be made according to personal taste. It is recommended to store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
