Mao Feng Black - product
$38.25
| /

Black tea is one of the most recent types to be produced: it was first made in China, possibly in response to European tastes, in the late 1700s or early 1800s. 

This new style of Chinese black tea is a worthy addition to the category; its sleek black leaves yield a dark amber infusion and earthy aroma. Produced on an organic farm in Zhejiang Province at 2,400 feet elevation, its rich flavor—with distinct notes of ginseng and sweet potato—holds up through a few infusions. Fans of Keemun or Assam will enjoy the depth and strength.

Love the earthiness!

I just got a sample of this tea. Wow! I like the contrast between the mushroomy earthiness and the hints of ginger. The Earl Gray has always been my go to, best Earl Gray ever, and I also love the Assam Golden Tip. Now I have a new one to cycle in.

I agree with others, this is my favorite tea also.

I love how rich the flavor is without being bitter, even if it steeps for a long time. This is not like a typical black breakfast tea, the flavor is more of stone fruit and molasses with a hint of earthy rich flavor.

Excellent, with nice spice to it. I brew 5g with 330g water at 210 degrees for 4.5 minutes. Nice alone or with some whole milk.

My new breakfast tea

I was looking for a new black tea to mix up my breakfast routine, and this one works perfectly. I tried a sample and came back for the full size! It's interesting and flavorful, and makes breakfast feel a little more special.
