- Xinyang Maojian (信阳毛尖), also known as Yu Maofeng, is a famous Chinese green tea produced in Xinyang, Henan Province, known for its "furry tips". This famous green tea has a history spanning over 2,300 years and is listed as one of the top 10 famous Chinese teas.
- The name ‘Mao Jian’ translates as ‘fur tips’ and it refers to the appearance of the young tea leaves when they are plucked – they are covered with tiny ‘hairs’ or ‘fur’. This rare tea is very time and labour consuming to produce, as approximately 50,000 buds need to be plucked to make only 500 grams of finished tea. After plucking, the leaves of this Xinyang Maojian green tea are rolled and pan fried, resulting in compact needle-like dry leaves.
- Benefits for regular consumption of Xinyang Maojian and other loose green teas include a reduced risk for heart disease. The antioxidants in green teas can help block the oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol, increase HDL (good) cholesterol and improve artery function. A Chinese study published recently in the Archives of Internal Medicine showed a 46-65% reduction in hypertension risk in regular consumers of green tea, compared to non-consumers of tea.
- When brewed the liquor is light green in colour with a vegetal and nutty aroma. The taste is quite complex but balanced. The initial taste has top sweet notes followed by a deep and long-lasting umami aftertaste that is somewhat savoury. Xin Yang Mao Jian produces a complex and satisfying cup of tea that is very refreshing on the palate.
