How does it taste?

If there is a tea that is irreplaceable for Hunan people in spring, then Guzhang Maojian must be one of them.
Maojian is made through three frying and two kneading, eight processes, and the process is complicated, but this tea has excellent craftsmanship and does not have the common problems of fried green tea (paste pot or burnt edge), but maintains a very complete and natural tea bud, and the aroma is high and fragrant. . Emerald green and many centimeters, buds and leaves are young.

 ★When brewing Maojian, first soak the tea leaves with water, shake it gently, and the aroma of the full cup pours into the nostrils. Use 85-90 ℃ water to brew, and the tea leaves will stretch immediately. Carefully observe that the tea buds are very fresh, even and green. To make a pound of such tea leaves, at least 60,000 buds are required, and they must be hand-picked. The amino acids in Pekoe also increase the freshness and sweetness of the tea soup. It is a very clean and sweet green tea.
