My favourite mug, the planting pots and the rose’s colours matched so nicely... So I brew a green and flowery tea and enjoyed the sensorial sensations. Gifts...daughter’s rose, my tea. A friend visiting Anhui in China brought me this wonderful pack of Huangshan Mao Feng. A picture of Xie Zheng An at the front side of the pack, he developed the recipe for this famous tea from the Yellow Mountains in 1875. The dry leaves are curled and come in shades of green, silver and gold. Lovely. Brewing instructions on pack tell me to brew at 90 degrees C. If brewed too warm, this one gets easily bitter. So personally I prefer to brew this one on 80-85 degrees so it stays nice and sweet, grassy, flowery, very soft and well balanced. After steeping, the leaves are bright green with hardly any oxidised edges. They have a promising fragrance, so I am looking forward to the next brew. I love these gifts 😊 How do you brew your Mao Feng? #lovelyday #teaholic #fortheloveoftea #china #anhui #huangshan #huizhou #yellowmountain #maofeng #furpeak #xiezhengan #green #tea #teatasting #teareview #xieyudatea https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu4CW2wFHS5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=awc72tplry77
