Title: " Huangshan Mao Feng "
Translation: " Hairy Peaks of Huangshan "*
Whale. 黄山毛峰, pinyin huángshān máo fēng
* Huangshan translates as Yellow Mountains.
Origin: Huangshan City (Chinese: 黄山, pinyin huángshān), Anhui Province (Chinese: 安徽, pinyin ānhuī), China.
One of the most famous green teas. It is included in the lists of both Famous Teas of China (Chinese: 中国名茶, pinyin: zhōngguó míng chá) and Ten Great Chinese Teas (Chinese: 中国十大名茶, pinyin: zhōngguó shí dàmíng chá). In addition, Huangshan Maofeng was awarded the title of "tea" in 1982 by the Ministry of Commerce, an honorary certificate in 1983 by the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and in 1986 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a "tea gift".
The best harvest is collected before the Qingming Festival in the area around Huangshan, which is home to other famous teas: Taiping Hou Kui and Luan Gua Pian. The term maofeng means that the bud and two leaves below it are harvested. And since the bud is covered in fluff, it becomes clear why the tea got its name - hairy peaks.
The Legend of Huangshan Mao Feng
During the Ming Dynasty, a young scholar and a beautiful girl fell in love. A large landowner saw the girl picking tea and wanted to have her. He had power and money and forced the parents to marry him. The night before the wedding, the unfortunate girl ran away. Having made her way into the house of the young scholar, she discovered that he had been murdered. The girl went to the grave of her beloved and began to cry incessantly until she became rain. The body of the scholar became a tea tree. It is said that this is why local tea grows in a constantly humid climate, and the tea bushes are lush all year round.
This green tea is also written as "Huang Shan Mao Feng" or "Huang Shan Maofeng" or "Huang Shan Mao Feng".
