Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Tea Drunk Xin Yang Mao Jian different from other green teas?
This tea follows a rigorous sourcing and production standard: heritage cultivars from the historic origin, harvest during the optimal 1–3 day window within its brief 10–15 day season, and skilled traditional crafting with no shortcuts. The result captures the true essence of this renowned variety in a way mass-produced green teas cannot.
How do I brew this green tea?
Use water around 160–180°F (70–80°C) and steep for 2–3 minutes. The leaves re-steep beautifully multiple times, with flavor deepening and becoming more nuanced across infusions thanks to the tea's complex structure.
What's the flavor like?
Expect a sharp yet balanced character with grounded aromatics, umami richness, and delicate floral notes. The aftertaste is notably long and layered, continuing to evolve as it cools on the palate.
