About Mt. Emei Green Mao Feng 


 
One of China's four mountains sacred to Buddhism, Mt. Emei in Sichuan province is often toured by travellers visiting its historic temples and luxuriant scenery.

The dried leaf is dark green and eyebrow-shaped, and brews a golden cup with a smooth finish and long-lasting aftertaste. The beverage lifts the spirits while 
imparting a feeling of relaxation. Best flavor is obtained by steeping with water temperature well below boiling, infusing one to three minutes.
