Details Introduction
Overview
Huangshan Maofeng is a roasted green tea originating from Tangkou and Fuxi in She County, Anhui Province. It was first developed by the Xie Yu Da Tea House during the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty. Named after its origin in the high peaks of Huangshan and its strip-shaped roasting process, it gained the "Geographical Indication Product" certification from China's General Administration of Quality Supervision in 2002. In 2008, its production technique was listed as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage, and in 2022, it was inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
Growing Environment
Huangshan lies in the transitional zone between subtropical and temperate climates, featuring high mountains, dense forests, mild weather, fertile soil, abundant rainfall, high humidity, and limited sunlight—ideal conditions for tea cultivation. Additionally, the widespread growth of orchids in the area imparts a unique floral fragrance to the tea leaves.
