Our verdict:
Throughout China, “Mao Feng” stands for good quality tea with plenty of buds. This deliciousMao Feng, grown at an altitude of 300 metres from Fu Ding plants, is produced on a smallfamily plantation run with a true passion and a never-ending quest to improve the qualityof its tea. The plantation is located in the Zhejiang mountains, some 30 kilometres fromYiwu, and produces this green tea in accordance with excellent environmental standards,without the use of pesticides. The plants are tended to entirely by hand using traditionalmethods. The plantation is surrounded by five kilometres of fallow fields which helps ensurethe consistent quality of Mao Feng Imperial. The result is a pure delight! This tea is a real findand perfectly capable of rivalling the most prestigious names. You’ll love it!
