A local Mao Feng cultivar, it is farmed & processed to local customs. This style of green tea is not typically found in the U.S. as it is not made in quantities for export. Yet, TMG is an exceptional choice for those that enjoy a strong and full-bodied Chinese green. Handpicked, single origin and traditionally fired in bamboo baskets, TMG offers beautiful, long leaves that offer a slightly fruity taste with light, natural sweetness. Harvested early April 2026.
Lot Notes. TMG is fired in bamboo baskets using traditional processing methods. It is fired at high temperature giving it a stronger body and accentuating its sweet side. We found a subtle, fruity note at the finish of this tea.
Tea Facts. Harvested typically when the leaves have grown larger (mid-to-late April) and its spring vegetal flavors are accentuated.
Tasting Notes. This is a strong green. There is a light, natural sweetness to be enjoyed. Aroma is vegetal and strong.
Brewing Suggestions. Two to three grams (teaspoon) is our recommendation for 6-8 ounces of water. Use a water temperature from 185-205 F. This will bring up its sweet notes quickly. Steep briefly for 2 minutes and taste. The tea can steep longer for added body.

Green Tea
Add 30 seconds for each successive steep — flavors evolve.
Full-leaf green teas will open to layered, delicate flavors. The freshly picked leaves are dehydrated to prevent oxidization and preserve their natural green color. Japanese green teas are steamed to preserve their fresh aromas and flavor notes. It is best if green tea is not brewed with boiling water.
Lower temperature water allows the leaves to steep slowly, preserving their natural sweetness. Green teas and yellow teas offer a gentle vegetal aroma. In the mouth, flavors range from spring asparagus and delicate notes of sorrel and raw vegetables to herbaceous and nutty.
