Green tea Mao Feng, organic

In need of a make-over. Can’t afford rehab, liposuction or Botox? Why not settle for a nice cuppa? You may have heard about the many reputed benefits of drinking green tea, such as it supports metabolism, contains antioxidants and helps protect skin from UV and pollution induced damage - more fun than cosmetic surgery!

This tea has a delicate natural taste of fresh summer air, peaches and apricots. A lovely clear pale green infusion, not the murky brown you often see with standard green teas.

What is special about this tea?

"Call us soppy romantics, but we like this story. A young man and a beautiful young woman from a tea plantation were in love, but the local tyrant seized her as his concubine. She escaped, only to learn that the tyrant had killed her lover. Finding his body deep in the mountains she wept and wept until she became the rain, while her lover's body turned into a tea bush. Which is why, according to the legend, the area where Mao Feng tea grows is forever cloudy and humid the whole year round. All together now…ahhh! This tea is special, unlike any other green tea on the market. A green tea liked by people who don’t like green tea.

about teapigs

Nick and Louise started teapigs in 2006 with one aim - to get the English people drinking real tea again. They meet while working for a large tea company where they learn all about tea and drink a lot of it. And the more they learned, and the more they drank, the more they realized something important: that there is a vast world of quality teas that don't get the attention they deserve. And so the idea of teapigs was born. By quality, real tea, teapigs mean whole leaves, whole fruits, whole spices and whole flowers. Without the powdered ingredients found in most tea bags. It's all in the taste. The tea in most bags is crushed and made so that by the time it reaches the cup, almost all the flavor is gone. Teapigs deny this approach. The whole leaves, fruits, herbs, flowers and spices in teapigs teas are carefully and lovingly prepared to maintain every drop of that precious flavor.
