Maoshan Evergreen Tea

　　 Maoshan Evergreen Tea is a specialty of Maoshan Town, Jurong City, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province. The tea features flat, straight, and elegant leaves with a vibrant green color. It boasts a fresh and high aroma, and when brewed, it produces a tender green liquor with bright leaves, offering a refreshingly brisk taste.

　　 The Maoshan area has been a renowned tea-producing region in southern China since the Sui Dynasty, with its traditional famous teas enjoying great prestige. During the Shunzhi era of the Qing Dynasty, the "Qian Tea" produced around Qianyuan Temple and the "Maoshan Lu Tea" made by the Maolu Company during the Republican period were quite famous. The misty tea managed by monks at Fangshan Temple was traded at the rate of one dan (a unit of weight) of rice for one jin (500g) of tea. In 1987, Maoshan Evergreen Tea was successfully developed by the Maoshan Tea Plant in Jurong.

　　 Maoshan Evergreen Tea is made from carefully selected high-quality buds, using meticulous raw materials and refined processing techniques. It is of superior quality with excellent color, aroma, and taste, featuring a unique style, sweet aftertaste, high and lasting fragrance, and a refreshing flavor. When steeped, the leaves either hang suspended in the water or stand upright at the bottom of the cup, resembling emerald-green bamboo shoots, offering a highly appealing visual and tasting experience.

　　 Currently, the Maoshan area is a key tea production base in Jiangsu Province. Among the many tea brands in Jurong City, Maoshan Evergreen stands out for its distinctive quality, ranking at the top of famous teas. It has won numerous national and provincial tea evaluation awards including gold, special, and first prizes such as the "China Tea Cup" and "Lu Yu Cup," and is widely recognized as a premium tea of Jiangsu Province.
