Mr. Feng is the headman of one of the original Qimen tea villages . The village is located high on Huangshan mountain between 700 to 1000 meters above sea level and surrounded by tea trees several centuries old that were responsible for the initial fame of both Huangshan Mao Feng and Keemun tea. In Mr. Feng\u2019s village there are 70 families producing just 7000 kg a year, all naturally without pesticides. Unlike many of villages we visit in China, the living standard of Mr. Feng\u2019s village is not high and it is difficult for them to compete with the cheap mass produced Mao Feng and Keemun teas made elsewhere. However in 2006 Mr.Feng managed to finance and build a road to the village from the area\u2019s major road, breaking the cycle of poverty in the village by allowing tea to be transported quickly and easily. He is now working very hard to help the village to build a better school and clinic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
An early-picked green\u00a0tea made from young buds and leaves by Mr Feng in Qimen, together with other families who farm naturally without pesticides or artificial fertilisers on plots averaging 2.5 acres.<\/p>\n
We already knew that Mr Feng’s co-operative were capable of producing excellent green teas, having stocked their Mao Feng years ago, but we were bowled over by this less heralded style of tea made predominantly from semi-wild trees picked in late-March before Qing Ming.<\/p>\n
Unlike Mao Feng the leaf has been shaped in the wok and is made up of wiry green buds, brewing a delicate and bright liquor, which is extremely fresh and vibrant, with\u00a0 subtle notes of sweet melon, sultana and cashew.<\/p>\n
This tea reacts well to high temperature waters. Brew with 90-95\u00b0C water and 3-4g of tea per cup to make three or four good infusions. We recommend short infusion times.<\/p>\n
