This has been a go-to green for me for several years now. It is sweet, slightly floral, and has pleasant vegetal notes on the first cup. The second cup is a bit grassier. The overall impression is one of elegance and quality. I brew it slightly stronger than suggested, using about 3.5-4 g in a 10 oz mug, as 3 g seemed a bit too subtle.

These beautiful, tightly-rolled, two-tone leaves have the tenacious energy of grass growing on rocky peaks. The light-bodied liquor has texture so thick it’s visible in the cup. It’s character has the natural sweetness of young green beans with a strong, mineral finish. Impressive.
This Guzhang Mao Jian style tea was harvested and produced April 21, 2026 by Ms. Peng Da Jie in Guzhang County, Hunan Province. It’s a one bud, one leaf pick of the Bi Xiang Zao cultivar growing at approximately 3,000 feet. The name refers to the location of production (Guzhang) and the long needle-like leaf style (Mao Jian).
