The Organic Mao Feng Green Tea Experience: classic Chinese green

Our Organic Mao Feng Green Tea is a classic Chinese Green Tea done one better. Balanced, refreshing and flavorful, it's sure to please green tea newbies and connoisseurs alike.

Tasting Notes: savory-sweet, bold

These tiny, delicate leaves show their strength as soon as you smell them. Highly aromatic, with the savory-sweet aroma of a spring meadow, they brew into a green-gold brew with a rich scent. The infusion is savory and sweet, grassy without being brash, palate-filling and umami-rich. Roasty hints, floral notes and a lush "green" taste give this tea a classic Chinese green tea flavor profile, and a refreshing, lasting finish leaves you wanting more.

Ingredients: Organic Chinese green tea.

Savoring Your Experience:

This tea is perfect for a "bowl meal"—you know, the kind with several delicacies eaten from a single bowl. We especially recommend it with a bowl meal of brown rice, sautéed tempeh (or chicken or eggplant), a medley of steamed veggies, a dab of pickled garlic, a healthy dose of homemade miso-soy sauce and ample toasted sesame seeds.

Fun Facts:

Mao Feng Green Tea is one of China's most famous green teas. It's made from only the newest, tiniest leaves of the tea plant, known as the "bud" (unopened leaf) and "first leaf" (the small leaf immediately below the bud). It takes great skill to harvest and process these minute leaves into tea, and that skill is clear in the final product.
