Mao Jian White Tea

Mao Jian White Tea has attractive long green curled leaves with silvery tips. Only the most tender tea shoots are picked. Mao Jian White Tea is famous for its delicate subtle sweet taste and fragrant aroma. Its flavor is full and crisp. Our Moa Jian White Tea is harvested during Spring. Although tea can be harvested from spring to autumn, the leaves cropped in the spring time give a better brew. Mao Jian White Tea is a great choice for everyday drinking.

Recent studies reveal that white teas also have more antioxidant or cancer fighting benefits (polyphenols)

Brewing Guide:
We recommend using glass-based or porcelain tea ware. Rinse tea cup and teapot with hot water. Use about 2.5 - 3 grams (approx 1/10 oz) of tea leaves (1-2.5 teaspoons) for every 225ml of water. Steep tea leaves in hot water at 80°c (176°F) to 90°c (196°F) for 1 minute for the first and second brewing. Gradually increase steeping time and temperature for subsequent brewing.
