HeNan DaBie Mountain first - grade Xinyang Maojian Green Tea, also called Yumao Feng, is mainly produced at the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains in Henan Province. This region boasts rich vegetation, abundant rainfall, and humid air, with a relative humidity exceeding 75%. The soil is predominantly yellow and black sandy loam, which is deep, loose, and rich in humus, thus highly fertile. Additionally, the sunlight here is relatively mild, and there is a large temperature difference between day and night. These conditions facilitate the slow growth of tea buds and leaves, endowing them with strong tenderness - retention, plumpness, and abundant fuzz, and enabling the accumulation of more beneficial substances.
HeNan DaBie Mountain first - grade Xinyang Maojian Green Tea is renowned both at home and abroad for its unique features: fine, round, sleek, straight leaves, a profusion of white fuzz, a high - intensity aroma, a rich flavor, and a green - hued infusion.
