Hefeng Green Tea

Hefeng Green Tea

　　Hefeng tea, a specialty of Hefeng County in Hubei Province, is a China Geographical Indication product. Nestled in the heart of the Wuling Mountain area, Hefeng County enjoys a microclimate ideal for tea tree growth, making it one of the best ecological environments for cultivating premium-quality tea. The county has a long history of tea production and was a major supplier of tribute tea and the origin of “Yihong Black Tea.” Hefeng tea features tightly rolled, slender, straight leaves with a vibrant green color and visible fine hairs; the tea liquor is bright tender green, with a high, lasting fragrance, a fresh and mellow taste, and tender, even, green-colored leaves. It is naturally rich in selenium. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was offered as a tribute to the imperial court and exported to various Western European countries, where the British called it “Queen’s Tea.” This tea has won numerous awards, including the Grand Prize at the “China Tea Cup” Premium Tea Competition, the Gold Award at the China “Lu Yu Cup” Premium Tea Competition, and the Grand Prize at the Hubei Provincial Premium Tea Competition. It has also been honored as a “China International Recommended Premium Tea Product” and one of the “Top Ten Teas of Hubei.”
