49. Mao Feng: Hua Hai 50g

This green tea from the Zhejiang region has only been cultivated since the end of the 19th century, but that does nothing to minimise its illustriousness and popularity. The name Mao Feng means ‘hairy tips’ and comes from the particularly narrow, rich green leaves that are reminiscent of tiny spearheads. Tea connoisseurs appreciate its sweet taste and the delicate, lime-coloured cup.
