40% Off Mao Jian "Hair Tip" Chinese Green Tea
This is a baked-type Chinese green, with a fresh, vegetal quality, a buttery viscosity and high fragrance. Grown at high elevation (800 meters), hand harvested, the Fuyun varietal leaf tips are rolled to resemble a pointy shape like a strand of hair, so it is named "Hair-tip." The fragility of the Hair-tip shape is second only to the Rain Flower shape, as the straight pointy shape is very brittle and easy to break during rolling and subsequently during handling and baking. This level of artisanship is rare and highly prized by green tea connoisseurs.
