Mao Jian

$9.12 ~~$18.25~~ In stock

Category: Tea

The misty, cloudy climate of the mountainous Xinyang area of Henan Province, China produces this popular green tea. This tea was harvested in late April 2022, both grown and hand processed in small batches by Duan and his family. Mao Jian literally translates to "hair tips", referring to the fine furry appearance of the inner side of the tea leaf. Enjoy a fresh floral aroma with a subtle umami aftertaste in the cup.

Richard ★★★★★ Nov 5, 2026

Wasn't expecting much from a green tea I'd never tried, but the first cup won me over. The leaves are whole and wiry, clearly hand-processed, and they unfurl into a sweet, chestnut-scented liquor after about a minute in 80°C water.

Lucy ★★★★★ Nov 4, 2026

Steeping these late-April 2022 leaves at about 175°F gives a cup that's sweet and almost buttery, with none of the bitterness I usually get from green tea. You can tell it was hand processed in small batches—the leaves are whole and uniform, not crushed dust.

The dry leaves smell grassy and a little toasty, and they hold up for three good steeps without turning bitter. You can tell it's hand processed from how intact the leaves stay in the cup.
