Rich, nutty, vegetal flavor and aroma that stays smooth, even with long steepings.

Lincang prefecture lies just to the north of Simao and Xishuangbanna in southwestern Yunnan province between Myanmar and the Lancang (Mekong) River. Yunnan is considered the birthplace of the Camellia Sinensis and is home to the largest array of tea plants in the world – 199 varietals.

Large Leaf Varietal
Yunnan is famous for its large leaf (‘Da Ye’) varietal teas. To make Lincang Maofeng a particular large leaf varietal was chosen for its beautiful leaf shape as well as its strong, yet smooth flavor and aroma.

Pan Firing
After plucking, the leaves are gently withered to reduce moisture and then pan-fired using a large wok. After firing, the leaves are rolled and then re-fired. This process is repeated several times until the correct shape, aroma and residual moisture is achieved.
