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.
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.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.

🔍 How Does Teapigs Mao Feng Compare to:
- Twinings Pure Green: While Twinings uses broken leaves Teapigs uses whole hand selected Mao Feng for a fuller smoother taste without murky bitterness.
- Longjing Dragon Well: Both are premium Chinese greens but Mao Feng provides a more delicate floral and fruit profile compared to the nutty toasted notes of Longjing.
🫖 Brewing The Perfect Cup of Teapigs Mao Feng Green Tea, 15 Tea Bags 37.5g
- Water temperature: 80°C (boil the kettle and let it rest for 90 seconds). Boiling water at 100°C destroys the delicate amino acids that give green tea its smooth, sweet character.
- Measure: One bag per 200ml of water (a standard mug). For loose leaf, use one heaped teaspoon.
- Steep: 2 to 3 minutes, any longer and the cup turns bitter. Remove the bag promptly; do not squeeze.
- Service: No milk and no sugar; the natural sweet grassy notes need nothing else. A slice of lemon brightens the cup if you prefer.
- Cold brew: Drop 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 version: Brew double strength (one bag in 100ml of 80°C water for 2 minutes), cool, pour over ice and dilute with cold water.
- Best with: sushi, sashimi, steamed rice dishes, dark chocolate, almond cake.
