Mao Jian, more commonly known as Xinyang Mao Jian, is a type of premium green tea produced in the mountains of Xinyang County in Henan province, China. It is usually considered as the “King of green tea.”
One can easily distinguish Mao Jian tea from other green teas by its long, thin, dark green leaves, with straight tips. High quality Mao Jian produces vibrant yellow-green colored tea that gives a very refreshing, lingering aftertaste and strong aroma. Bad quality Mao Jian, on the other hand, produces dark-green colored tea. This exquisite green tea is most popular enjoyed iced during the hot summer weather.
