Brewing Guide

1. Warm the cup: Pour in 100℃ pure water, swirl it around to “warm up” the cup.
2. Add tea leaves(4g): Discard the water used for warming the cup, add dry tea leaves, and listen to the “rustling sound” as they hit the cup walls.
3. Smell the aroma: Swirl the cup gently and take a moment to savor the fragrance of the dry tea.
4. Moisturize the tea: Pour 90℃ pure water along the cup walls to moisten the tea (if you prefer to rinse the tea, discard this water, if you’re feeling lazy, it’s okay to leave it in).
5. Brew the tea: Slowly pour 85-90℃ water along the cup walls—let the water move while the tea stays still. Watching the tea leaves unfurl is incredibly soothing.
6. Taste the tea: Pour out the tea after 3-6 seconds! It’s smooth, soft, and subtly sweet on the palate. Remember to open the gaiwan (lidded bowl) right after pouring to avoid trapping and ruining the tea’s aroma.

Immerse Your Senses in the Taste of Spring

Imagine unwrapping a package and being greeted by the delicate, sweet fragrance of dried hay and fresh chestnuts – this is the promise of Wenxin Xinyang Maojian. When met with hot water, the leaves awaken, releasing an uplifting aroma of orchids, lily, and a whisper of sweet spring peas. This is not just a tea; it’s the captured essence of a misty Chinese mountain spring.

A Symphony of Flavor & Sensation

The first sip is a revelation. The liquor is remarkably smooth and silky on the palate, with an initial gentle, sweet grassiness that quickly unfolds into a complex melody. You’ll discover subtle notes of buttery asparagus and a distinct, toasted chestnut finish that lingers beautifully. Unlike some green teas that can bite, our Maojian is celebrated for its complete lack of astringency, leaving only a profound, sweet aftertaste that invites sip after satisfying sip.
