About the TEA
The flavor of this exquisite tea strikes a perfect balance between the sweet, floral notes typical of Chinese green teas and the bold, intense green notes of a Japanese gyokuro. This harmonious blend inspired us to name it ‘Sweet Harmony.’
The original name, Xin Yang Mao Jian, can be broken down into two elements reflecting its origin and appearance: ‘Xinyang’ (信阳) refers to Xinyang City in Henan, China, where this tea is produced, while ‘mao jian’ (毛尖) describes the tea’s physical characteristics—’mao’ (毛) refers to the tiny fuzz that appears in the cup when brewed, and ‘jian’ (尖) indicates the sharp, full young leaves.
Xin Yang Mao Jian is a green tea hailing from Henan Province in central China. The tea gardens are nestled in mountainous regions at altitudes ranging from 500 to 800 meters. Even during winter, when the mountains are blanketed with snow and most plants have withered, the resilient Xin Yang Mao Jian tea trees endure, earning their reputation as one of China’s hardiest teas.
With over a thousand years of production history, this tea’s origins date back to 1903 when tea masters from Anhui were invited by the government to enhance cultivation and production techniques. It quickly gained acclaim both domestically and internationally, winning a gold medal at the 1915 World Expo in San Francisco. Today, Xin Yang Mao Jian remains one of China’s top ten teas and a beloved choice among tea enthusiasts.
