“Fluffy peaks of the Meng Ding Mountains” as can be translated the name ‘mao feng’, popular and used for many teas. It is usually used to emphasize the quality of the leaf used, when the hairy tops – buds and leaves – are abundant.
Dark green, larger, regularly twisted leaf with a strong, sweet aroma. In the cup, it develops in a full, strong taste with slightly fruity, fresh undertones with an aromatic and long-lasting aftertaste.
