She Xian Rolled Mao Feng 2026

Huang Shan — Yellow Mountain — is a UNESCO World Heritage landscape in the south of Anhui Province, and one of China's most storied tea regions. The scattered mountains and narrow valleys of the Huang Shan prefecture have produced tea for over a thousand years, shaped by a climate of persistent mist, high humidity, mineral-rich soils, and filtered mountain light. The signature style is Mao Feng: unrolled, downy buds picked in early spring, with a clear, thick body and soft vegetal character that varies distinctly by village and harvest date. Tang Kou, She Xian, and the Qimen area each produce Mao Fengs with their own personality — from savory and round to sharp and floral. Qimen, on the western edge of the Huang Shan range, is separately famous for its black tea tradition, and more rarely produces green Mao Fengs of notable refinement. Teas from this area reward close attention: the differences between picking dates, processing methods, and micro-regions are often dramatic.
