Ziyang Maojian tea

Ziyang Maojian Tea, produced in Ziyang County, Shaanxi Province, is a famous tea both inside and outside the province. The so-called "Maojian" refers to the tender tea tip with white velvet hairs, which was generally collected before Qingming Festival. In the Tang Dynasty, people called this kind of tea "tea bud", which was a second-class tribute to the court, commonly known as "imperial tea". Maojian is divided into two grades according to the picking time, the first-class products are picked when one bud and one leaf are first put out, and the second-class products are picked when one bud and two leaves are first put out. There is a poem saying: "Before the rain, it is the same as new tea, and the slope has different yin and yang. Qi Bei Bai Hao first pays tribute, and the fragrant wind blows out wild people. " The production process of Ziyang Maojian tea is very fine. The processed tea is compact and symmetrical, with a green and oily appearance. When you hold it in your hand, the white hairs are clearly visible. The brewed tea is clear and bright, and the fragrant smell is refreshing.
