LCurator note · Teapigs
The surprise here is that a plain green tea, no flavouring added, genuinely tastes of peach and apricot, that fruit comes from the Mao Feng leaf itself. It is the green that converts sceptics not by hiding the tea but by being delicate and naturally sweet instead of scorched and grassy. Manage expectations on body: this is a light, silky cup, not a robust one, so do not drown it, water off the boil and a short steep. Lovely hot, and quietly excellent iced.

About this tea
Teapigs Mao Feng Green Tea, in brief.
Teapigs Mao Feng Green Tea is a genuine single-estate Chinese green, whole-leaf Mao Feng from the Huangshan mountains in a pyramid temple rather than the scorched, dusty fragments most green bags use. It is delicate and properly fragrant, the contemplative end of the green-tea bracket rather than an everyday gulper, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as a quality leaf at a fair price, and the same base that carries the Teapigs Green Tea with Peach.
Preparation: this is the one rule that matters with Mao Feng. Drop one pyramid into a 250ml mug at 80 to 85 degrees, not boiling, and steep just three minutes. Boiling water or an over-long steep turns it bitter and wastes the leaf. It pairs especially well with almond biscotti.

Brewing
Brewing the perfect cup
Water temperature80°C (use a thermometer or a temperature-controlled kettle; how fast boiled water cools depends on the amount of water and the kettle). Boiling water at 100°C destroys the delicate amino acids that give green tea its smooth, sweet character.
MeasureOne bag per 200ml of water (a standard mug). For loose leaf, use one heaped teaspoon.
Steep2 to 3 minutes, any longer and the cup turns bitter. Remove the bag promptly; do not squeeze.
ServiceNo milk and no sugar; the natural sweet grassy notes need nothing else. A slice of lemon brightens the cup if you prefer.
Cold brewDrop one bag into 250ml of cold water in a glass jug and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours. The cold method extracts the sweeter compounds preferentially and is the smoothest way to drink green tea on a hot day.
Iced versionBrew double strength (one bag in 100ml of 80°C water for 2 minutes), cool, pour over ice and dilute with cold water.
Best withSushi, sashimi, steamed rice dishes, dark chocolate, almond cake.
