“The clear spring water of Mahu Lake, the pre-rain tea of Huanglang.” The mild and humid climate around Mahu Lake is highly suitable for tea tree growth. “The tender buds are smaller than a sparrow’s tongue. When brewed with clear spring water, the aroma is delicate and fresh, the taste sweet and fragrant, refreshing to the soul, with lingering fragrance on the palate.” Mahu Chun Tea is meticulously harvested and processed. To produce tea that, as the legend goes, has leaves “all standing upright like sparrow beaks,” it was traditionally essential to have “young boys” pick the leaves. Pre-Qingming buds are all overwintering buds—those picked must not contain even the slightest trace of frost damage, and the picking process must not harm the buds in any way. Every step—from fresh leaf selection, fixation, rolling, to drying—must be done entirely by hand, relying on experience and passed down through master-apprentice tradition. The craftsmanship is closely guarded and rarely shared.
