This is your simple, quiet introduction to Xinyang Maojian — the fresh spring green tea grown in the Dabie Mountains.
If you are new to this northern Chinese tea, this guide will help you understand what makes it different, and how to enjoy it for the very first time.
Xinyang Maojian grows along the 32°N parallel, a latitude known mostly for dry, desert landscapes.
Here in the Dabie Mountains, cooler temperatures, rocky soil, and soft mountain mist create a rare, gentle terroir perfect for spring tea. Unlike stronger, bitter green teas, Xinyang Maojian grows slowly through long winters, resulting in a naturally sweet, smooth flavor.
When you taste it for the first time, you will notice clean vegetal notes paired with a subtle chestnut sweetness. There is no harsh bite, no heavy grassiness — only fresh, calm spring flavor.
One of the first things new tea lovers notice is the fine white fuzz covering each leaf.
These tiny natural trichomes are not dust. They are the tender, aromatic part of the new spring bud, responsible for the tea’s soft fragrance and sweet finish.
Xinyang Maojian is a seasonal tea.
It only peaks during a very short spring window. Once the season passes, this exact fresh flavor cannot be reproduced until the next year.
At Xinyang Sourcing, we focus on this simple truth:
good tea comes from genuine terroir, clean growing conditions, and short seasonal harvests.
This site will walk you slowly through the Dabie Mountain terroir, the seasonal harvest process, and how to brew Xinyang Maojian perfectly at home.
