Yang Xian Mao Feng Green Tea #55009 “Yang-Xian” is Jiangsu province’s ancient name. It is a place of learning and high culture. And most notably, home to the artist who took the local “red-purple” clay and crafted the exquisite tea wares of Yi-Xing. The region is known for its sunny skies, gently rolling hills and flowing streams. It is no accident that great teas are grown there. The most renowned is Yang-Xian Mao Feng, which according to the imperial records became a tribute tea at the beginning of the Song Dynasty – hence, a tea with an 800 year history. The tea itself is known by its long delicate leaves, which are quickly fired and turn a dark jade green. When steeped, the tea is wonderfully fragrant, and leaves a lingering sweetness on the palate. This method of firing tea is a Southern Song invention, and has led to the way in which present day green teas are produced. It is a method, which leaves intact all those elements, which are most beneficial to health, and maintains China’s role as the producer of the world’s finest green teas.
