Stir Fried Greens (Chao Qing)

An unusual, small-leaf Mao Feng varietal that is well-known in Fujian Province and virtually unknown outside of China. This tea is typically found in the market by early April. The leaves are light green in color and attractively curved. The taste is sweet, with a clean vegetal aroma. It is lighter, less vegetal in body than many green varietals and this makes it a pleasing everyday use tea. A good value given the high quality and workmanship of the leaf.
