Mao Feng
Mao feng is a light, Chinese green tea. It has a pleasant scent, and a long, narrow leaf.
This is what just over 3 grams of leaf looks like. That's about the equivalent of 2 teaspoons of a cut tear curl tea. This looks like a huge amount of leaves, but imagine how few of these leaves would fit in a teaspoon, or even a tablespoon. This is the type of leaf where you really need scales.
It makes a beautiful, light brew, and can be brewed a few times.
It's a very light, refreshing tea.
Now I'm facing a dilemma. I have a code for 10% off an online purchase from my favorite tea shop. Do I order tea again? I just got some 2 months ago, but I just finished drinking up my favorite winter tea. I could also get some of my favorite spring teas in the box. Cherry sencha and ryokucha sound so good right now, along with more of my beloved ginger puerh. I wonder if they will offer a 10% discount for St Patrick's day. Otherwise, the next discount won't come until May for mother's day, and July for their anniversary. Yes, I know that I'm obscessed with figuring out their discount schedule, and obscessed with drinking tea. At least our winter storm this week was not too bad.
And not obsessed with spelling... ;-)
