Henan's Xinyang prefecture has been famous for its Maojian tea since the Tang dynasty.
Though Xinyang is on the edge of the arid North China plain, the mountainous southern and western parts, criss crossed by streams and brooks, have plenty of the clouds and mist needed for good tea. The finest and most tender Xin Yang Mao Jian tea leaves are picked from tea trees growing in the high mountain area of Xin Yang.
This harvest area is interestingly known as the "5 Mountains and 2 Pools".
Today it is one of the country's most thriving areas of agricultural and sideline production, quite often visited and written about, so its tea is being sampled by more people.
This tea has been produced with only very simple equipment. What make it different are the skillful hand movements of rolling, adjusted to the heat and softness or dryness of the tender leaves.
The tea is compact, fine and round , fuzzy, jade green in color, clear liquid, strong and lasting fragrance, refreshingly mellow and sweet taste and aftertaste and tender and green brewed leaves.
