Though traditionally classified under green teas, this Mao Jian is a special white tea selection that showcases a graceful blend of fine, downy buds and tender leaves. The name "Mao Jian" translates to "Hairy Tips", a reference to the tiny white hairs visible on the tea leaves, which signify youth, tenderness, and quality.
This tea brews a soft golden liquor with an elegant balance of grassy freshness and gentle fruity undertones. Unlike bolder teas, its finish is clean yet persistent, offering a subtle lingering sweetness that stays with you.
Mao Jian white tea is appreciated not only for its intricate appearance and mild character, but also for its artisanal processing. Carefully withered and dried with minimal interference, it captures the quiet beauty of traditional Chinese tea craftsmanship.
Serving suggestion:
We recommend brewing white tea with water at around 80 degrees Celsius. Steep the tea for approximately 3 minutes, then taste to see if the strength suits your preference. If you desire a stronger brew, you may steep it for another minute or two. Use a teapot with an infuser for best results. If a teapot is not available, an infuser ball, infuser cup, or a fine mesh strainer will also work well. For each serving, use about 3 to 4 grams of loose leaf tea, or roughly one teaspoon. This tea may be steeped a second time; simply extend the brewing time to draw out the remaining flavour.
