LCurator note · Teapigs

What surprises people is that a plain green tea, with no flavouring at all, really does taste of peach and apricot; the fruit is in 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. Do not expect weight: this is a light, silky cup rather than a hefty one, so go gently, with water off the boil and only 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 the real thing: single estate whole leaf Mao Feng from China's Huangshan mountains, packed in a pyramid temple, not the scorched, dusty fragments most green tea bags hold. 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.

Label notes

Ingredients & dietary100% whole leaf Mao Feng green tea from a single estate in China's Huangshan mountains; it contains caffeine.

PackagingCheck the UK pack and your council's rules, as the box and the temples may be recycled differently.

Curator notes: the tasting profile reflects our own editorial review against the current pack format and the brand spec sheet, cross-checked with brewing trials at the recommended steep time and water temperature.

Curator’s notes

Read the full write-up

Teapigs Mao Feng Green Tea is the one to try if supermarket green tea bags have always tasted flat and papery to you. Cheap green blends often taste scorched or dusty; this one uses whole leaves of a high grade, which is why the cup comes out smooth and refreshing instead. Teapigs put those leaves into roomy mesh tea temples, so the same easy drinking cup works at home or as a break at your desk. For a cup that feels like a small treat, this delicate Chinese green tea pairs nicely with a light lunch or as a refreshing iced summer cooler. Sipped slowly at home or grabbed between meetings, it stays bright and zesty, carrying the Teapigs standard of quality on into 2026.

The Story Behind the Teapigs Brand

Back in two thousand and six, Nick and Louise launched Teapigs from London so that more of us would drink proper leaf tea.

Tea Temple Innovation: Fed up with dusty paper bags, the two of them pioneered the Teapigs brand tea temple to give whole leaves enough room to breathe and unfurl.
Legend of Mao Feng: Tracing back to eighteen seventy five in Huangshan the name translates to "hair peak" referring to the silvery down on the fat tea buds.
Business for Good: As a certified B Corp Teapigs prioritizes ethical goals by supporting vulnerable tea communities and orphans in Rwanda through the Point Foundation.

Teapigs Commitment To The Planet

Teapigs were among the first to push for sustainable tea, and each component of these Mao Feng temples is chosen with the environment in mind.

Packaging: Check the UK pack and your council's rules, as the box and the temples may be recycled differently.

Side by side

How does it compare

vs Twinings Pure GreenWhile Twinings uses broken leaves Teapigs uses whole hand selected Mao Feng for a fuller smoother taste without murky bitterness.

vs Longjing Dragon WellBoth are premium Chinese greens but Mao Feng provides a more delicate floral and fruit profile compared to the nutty toasted notes of Longjing.

Brewing

Brewing the perfect cup

Water temperature80°C. Mao Feng is fussy about heat, so a thermometer or a variable temperature kettle earns its keep; boiled water cools at a rate set by the kettle and the volume in it. At a full 100°C boil the delicate amino acids behind Mao Feng's smooth sweetness break down.

MeasureOne bag for each 200ml of water, roughly what a standard mug holds. For loose leaf, use one heaped teaspoon.

Steep2 to 3 minutes; past that, Mao Feng starts to taste bitter. Remove the bag promptly; do not squeeze.

ServiceSkip the milk and the sugar bowl; Mao Feng's natural sweet, grassy notes do the job alone. A lemon slice is optional and lifts the cup a little.

Cold brewChill one bag of Mao Feng for 4 to 8 hours in 250ml of cold water, using a glass jug. Cold extraction favours the sweeter compounds, which is why this is the gentlest Mao Feng of all when the weather is hot.

Iced versionDouble strength is the trick: one bag, 2 minutes, 100ml of 80°C water. Cool it, pour it over ice, and thin it with cold water.

Best withSashimi and sushi, a bowl of steamed rice, a square of dark chocolate or a slice of almond cake.

Safety and purity

What’s in it, what to know

CaffeineYes, from the green tea leaf, though no milligram count is given for this Mao Feng.

Ingredients and dietary suitabilityBefore ordering, glance at the current UK box; Teapigs can change this recipe and its allergy advice.

CaffeineYes, from the green tea leaf, though no milligram count is given for this Mao Feng.

Nutrient NoteMao Feng contains EGCG and L theanine, both found naturally in green tea leaf; we list them as part of what is in the cup, nothing more.

Shelf LifeMao Feng stays safe beyond the best before date on the pack, but its aroma fades after that point. Keep the temples sealed in an airtight container, out of direct sun and somewhere cool and dry.

Formulations change; the current UK pack is always the final word on ingredients and allergens.

Ingredients & nutrition

Inside the pack

Ingredient	What it brings
Mao Feng Green Tea	100 percent pure whole leaf green tea. Mao Feng translates to "downy tips" referring to the fine hairs on the young leaves.
Whole Leaf Quality	Teapigs use whole leaves only, never dust, which gives the cup its clean, refined taste.

Pack: Fifteen pyramid bags of Mao Feng, 37.5g altogether; this is real tea, so it contains caffeine. Drink it within 18 months of packing for the best flavour.

Only the defining leaf is listed; any unmeasured base fills the remainder. Sourced worldwide, blended, then packed to the Teapigs brief.

Packaging: Check the UK pack and your council's rules, as the box and the temples may be recycled differently.

What's in Teapigs Mao Feng Green Tea, 15 Tea Bags 37.5g, and what isn't:

In: only Mao Feng green tea; the temple has nothing else in it save the listed components and any infusion base.
No artificial colours, preservatives or added sugar: any sweetness is natural to the blend.
Allergen note: nuts and cereals are handled where these temples are packed, so the newest Mao Feng box is where to find today's cross contact statement.
