Finished my sample of these leaves with my mom today. Glad I got to share the buttered squash notes. It was a very tasty morning treat.

I haven’t tried a Mao Feng yet, though I’m curious and have been on the verge of ordering a couple times. Buttered squash sounds a good place to start, I’ll put this one on my list.

I hadn’t either, this came as a sample with a stash sale I purchased on Steepster. The closest thing I have had to date was a nice Sencha Japanese green. The sweet vegetal notes were quite addicting but they only stay around for one or two steeps when done gongfu style.
Wish I had more!

Huang Shan Mao Feng is our favorite green! I buy Teavivre’s usually.

Drinking the crumbs of this right now! I can definitely see what you mean by buttered squash. This tea re-invigorated my interest in Chinese greens after being bored by some other bad, astringent, possibly too old teas. It’s a very forgiving when brewed grampa style

You’re telling me! I ended up doing more steeps than I usually put a green through and got up into the 10 minute range while still producing great flavors.

90-100 Stellar, to be displayed proudly if shared with guests. Or just a tea that hits its mark well.
80-90 I enjoy this tea a lot, would purchase and drink it. Fine if it lives in the pantry
70-80 Above Average, would drink it and probably still buy if the mood struck me.
50-70 Average, I would still drink it when available.
0-50 I don’t care for this tea, and have no desire to care for it.
