Title: " Xinyang Maojian "
Translation: " Fleecy Points from Xianyang "
Whale. 信阳毛尖, pinyin xìnyáng máojiān
Origin: Xinyang (Chinese: 信阳, pinyin: xìnyáng), Henan Province (Chinese: 河南, pinyin: hénán).
A traditional green tea from Henan. It was ranked among the top ten teas in China in 1959. Since then, it has enjoyed consistently high domestic demand. In 1990, Maojian won a gold medal in the National Quality Award, in 1999 it took gold at the Kunming International Tea Exhibition, and in 2007 it won the World Japanese Green Tea Conference, also taking gold.
Tea has been cultivated in the Xinyang region since ancient times. The earliest references date back to the Eastern Zhou period (722 BCE to 481 BCE). During the Tang Dynasty, local tea was produced in abundance. The renowned explorer Lu Yu included the Yiyang region (Chinese: 义阳郡; now Xinyang) among the eight tea-producing areas in Henan.
Today, Maojian tea is also produced in other provinces of China. Markets also offer a variety of leaf shapes (spiked or twisted) and leaf grades (based on the percentage of buds).
Appearance, aroma and taste
The leaves are thin and dense, slightly dark green, and spirally twisted. The aroma is bright and fresh, reminiscent of Chinese chestnut. The infusion is light green and clear. The taste reveals deep herbal and soft floral notes.
The approximate pronunciation in Mandarin is "Maojen." Various spellings of the name are found: Xin yang mao jian, Mao jen.
