Green Tea: Huangshan Maofeng No. 7 | 125g

Huangshan — Yellow Mountain — is one of China's most celebrated landscapes: granite peaks rising through cloud, streams running through mineral-rich rock, air cooled year-round by altitude and mist. It is also, not coincidentally, one of China's most important tea-growing regions. The conditions that make the mountain visually dramatic are the same conditions that shape Maofeng's character: slow growth in cool, cloud-filtered light, roots drawing from granite-filtered water, leaves developing the clean, uncluttered fragrance that has defined this tea for centuries.

Maofeng No. 7 is sourced from gardens within the Huangshan growing area, picked in spring and processed with the light hand that the variety demands. This is not a tea that announces itself with intensity — it opens quietly, with a fragrance that is fresh and clean rather than bold, and a sweetness that builds gradually and stays. For those who find most green teas too heavy or too roasted, Maofeng No. 7 is the answer.

• Clean, Lifted Floral Fragrance — Light, fresh, and unforced: a delicate floral top-note with a cool, almost orchid-like quality that rises from the cup on first pour and lingers gently as the tea cools. Not assertive — present. The kind of fragrance that rewards a slow, attentive cup rather than a quick one.
• Crisp Entry, Refreshing Sweetness — The first sip is bright and clean — a light, slightly mineral freshness that opens the palate before giving way to a natural, unforced sweetness. The finish is cool and gently sweet, with a clarity that distinguishes Maofeng from heavier pan-fired styles.
• Feather-Light Body — Light and silky on the palate, with none of the weight or astringency of roasted-style green teas. The texture is smooth and almost weightless — easy to drink and easy to return to across multiple cups without palate fatigue.
• Huangshan Mountain Terroir — Grown at altitude in the mist-covered granite peaks of Huangshan, Anhui Province — a growing environment that slows leaf development, concentrates natural sweetness, and produces the clean, mineral-touched fragrance that defines authentic Maofeng. The mountain is not incidental to this tea; it is the reason for it.
• Downy Tip, Spring Harvest — Maofeng leaves are picked with their characteristic fine white tip intact — a marker of young, carefully handled material. The slight down on the leaf contributes to the silky mouthfeel and signals that picking and processing were done with the care this grade requires.

How to Brew — Hot
Water temperature: 167–176°F (75–80°C) — Maofeng's delicate fragrance is heat-sensitive; lower temperature preserves the lifted floral top-note
Leaf ratio: 3g per 200ml
Steep time: 60–90 seconds for the first infusion; extend by 15–20 seconds for each subsequent steep
Vessel: Glass tumbler or thin-walled porcelain — the pale yellow-green liquor and floating downy tips are part of the experience
Yields 3–4 infusions. The clean floral fragrance is brightest on the first steep; subsequent infusions yield a softer, sweeter expression.

How to Brew — Cold
Leaf ratio: 4g per 500ml of cold, filtered water
Steep time: 4–6 hours in the refrigerator
Result: A light, refreshingly sweet cold brew with exceptional clarity and a cool, clean finish. Maofeng's natural sweetness is well-suited to cold extraction — the result is one of the most effortlessly drinkable cold teas in the ovanyu range. Serve chilled in clear glassware.

FAQ

Q: What is Huangshan Maofeng, and why is it significant?
A: Huangshan Maofeng is one of China's Ten Famous Teas — a designation based on historical reputation, regional distinction, and consistent quality. It is grown exclusively in the Huangshan mountain area of Anhui Province, where the altitude, granite soil, and cloud cover produce a clean, lightly floral fragrance profile that other regions cannot replicate. The name Maofeng refers to the downy tip of the leaf and the mountain peaks of its origin.

Q: How does Maofeng compare to Longjing or Biluochun?
A: Longjing leads with roasted-bean warmth; Biluochun with bold floral-fruit intensity. Maofeng No. 7 is lighter and cleaner than both — a fragrance that is fresh and lifted rather than assertive, and a body that is silky and light rather than full or round. If those teas feel too heavy, Maofeng is where to go next. If you prefer more presence in the cup, the Longjing or Biluochun range may suit you better.

Q: Why does the water temperature matter so much for this tea?
A: Maofeng's aromatic compounds are among the most volatile in the ovanyu range. At temperatures above 185°F, the floral top-note dissipates before it reaches the cup, and the natural sweetness is replaced by a flat, slightly bitter character. Brewing at 167–176°F allows the fragrance to develop fully and the sweetness to emerge cleanly.

Q: Is Maofeng No. 7 a good tea for someone new to Chinese green tea?
A: It is one of our most accessible teas for new drinkers. The light body, absence of bitterness, and clean, naturally sweet finish make it immediately pleasing without requiring calibration or prior experience with green tea. It is also forgiving to brew — a slightly longer steep at the right temperature will not significantly compromise the cup.

Q: How should I store it?
A: Airtight container, away from heat, light, and strong odors. The downy leaf surface absorbs moisture and odors more readily than denser grades — sealing is important. Refrigerate for storage beyond two weeks in a fully sealed container, and bring to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation on the leaf.
