Introduction
Xinyang Maojian, also known as "Yu Maofen/禹毛峰" is one of China's most famous green teas. It originates from Xinyang City in the Henan Province, a region known for its mild climate and fertile soil, ideal for tea cultivation. The tea leaves are harvested from tea bushes in early spring, and they are known for their slender, needle-like appearance with a rich green color and white hairs. Xinyang Maojian has a fresh, brisk, and slightly sweet flavor with a lingering aftertaste, complemented by a high floral aroma. The production process includes hand-picking, pan-firing, and rolling, ensuring the tea's delicate taste and rich nutrients are preserved.
