Mabian Misty Tea
Mabian Misty Tea is a specialty of Mabian County in Leshan City, Sichuan Province. It features tightly rolled leaves with a deep, lustrous green hue and visible white downy tips. The tea liquor is bright emerald green, and the taste is pure, crisp, and refreshing, with a natural orchid-like fragrance.
Mabian County in Sichuan is situated in the most remote high mountain area of Leshan, home to the UNESCO World Natural and Cultural “Dual Heritage” site. It lies along the ancient Tea Horse Road and is an important section of the Southern Silk Road. It is also one of the original producing regions of Chinese green tea. Blessed with superior natural conditions, a mild climate, and distinct seasons, the county’s mid-high altitude areas (between 800 and 1,500 meters above sea level) feature lush forests, rolling hills, and year-round light rain and mist — creating perfect conditions for tea cultivation. It is one of the most suitable regions in western China for growing premium-quality green tea.
Mabian Misty Tea is made from wild, small-leaf tea buds and first leaves picked just before the Qingming Festival at around 1,500 meters above sea level in the Dafengding Mountain Range of the Mabian National Nature Reserve. It is processed using state-of-the-art microwave fixation technology and traditional hand-fired charcoal roasting methods. The tea is tightly rolled, dark glossy green with visible white downy tips, and yields a bright emerald-green infusion. It tastes pure, crisp, and refreshing, with a natural orchid-like fragrance. It has become a remarkable standout in the world of tea.
In May 2010, at the Tea Expo during the Shanghai World Expo, Mabian Misty Tea received high praise from both domestic and international tea experts and consumers. Orders worth over 4.5 million yuan were placed from countries and regions including Mexico, the EU, Saudi Arabia, and Hong Kong, China, laying a solid foundation for the brand promotion of Mabian Misty Tea.
