Nine Dragons Mao Feng tea grows on its namesake mountain range, part of the Tibetan Plateau in northwest
Yunnan Province in western China.

Nine Dragons Mao Feng tea is a very distinctive artisanal tea. It has a bright clear flavor and smooth, long finish
due to its late-season pluck. A combination of deep green leaves and white buds twist throughout this tea.

This is a mature tea with no astringency. One of our all-time favorites, this is spring green tea at its subtle finest.

On our trip to Western China in 2004, late one evening in a hotel that was ‘less than glamorous’, we tasted tea that had been brought to us for sampling by a young, determined tea trader who had traveled half a day by train to meet up with us. He had quite a few excellent teas on offer, one of which was Nine Dragons Mao Feng tea, and we are happy to have made his acquaintance. After tasting many exquisite teas with us, he disappeared into the night just as simply as he had arrived, off to meet with his next clients the following morning, after another six-to-eight hour train ride!
