This Mao Feng comes from a Zhejiang cultivar called Jiu Keng.  It is processed using a traditional two-stage air-firing technique. The long, delicate leaves are fired briefly and turn dark jade green.  The cup color is a pale yellow-green with a sweet, almost floral aroma.  It has a chestnut flavor (similar to a nice Longjing) with a fresh, almost grassy flavor.  This combination of flavors mean that this tea appeals to people who like both Japanese and Chinese green teas.
