Title: " Xinyang Maojian "

Whale. 信阳毛尖, pinyin xìnyáng máojiān
Origin: Xinyang City (Chinese: 信阳, pinyin: xìnyáng), Henan Province (Chinese: 河南, pinyin: hénán).
Traditional green tea from Henan. It was ranked among the top ten teas in China in 1959. After that, it received a consistently high domestic demand in China. In 1990, Maojian won the gold medal in the National Quality Award, in 1999 it won gold in the Kunming International Exhibition, and in 2007 it won the World Japanese Green Tea Conference, also winning the gold award.
Tea has been cultivated in the Xinyang area since ancient times. The earliest records date back to the Eastern Zhou period (722 BC to 481 BC). During the Tang Dynasty, local tea was produced in abundance. The famous explorer Lu Yu included the Yiyang area (Chinese: 义阳郡; now Xinyang) among the eight tea-producing areas in Henan.
Nowadays, the Maojian variety is also produced in other provinces of China. Also on the market you can find a variety of tea leaf shapes (peaks or twisted) and tea leaf categories (by percentage of buds).
