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 listed as one of the Famous Teas of China (Chinese: 中国名茶, pinyin: zhōngguó míng chá) and one of the Ten Great Chinese Teas (Chinese: 中国十大名茶, pinyin: zhōngguó shí dàmíng chá). Furthermore, 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 as a "gift of tea" in 1986 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The best harvest is gathered before the Qingming Festival in the area around Huangshan, home to other renowned teas: Taiping Houkui and Luan Gua Pian. The term "maofeng" means that the bud and the two leaves beneath it are harvested. Since the bud is covered in fluff, it's easy to understand why the tea is called "hairy peaks."
The Legend of Huangshan Mao Feng
During the Ming Dynasty, a young scholar and a beautiful girl fell in love. A wealthy landowner, seeing the girl picking tea, desired her. He possessed power and wealth and forced the parents to marry him. The night before the wedding, the unfortunate girl ran away. Sneaking into the young scholar's house, she discovered he had been murdered. The girl went to her beloved's grave and began crying incessantly until she became rain. The scholar's body became a tea tree. It is said that this is why local tea grows in a constantly humid climate, and the tea bushes remain lush year-round.
This green tea is also written as "Huang Shan Mao Feng" or "Huangshan Maofeng" or "Huang Shan Mao Feng".
