## Summary

A sweet, smooth Mao Feng with no bitter grassy edge: the fix is cooler water, around 80C, and a short steep.

## Description

A good Mao Feng cup is sweet, smooth and faintly peachy, with none of the bitter, grassy edge most people get from green tea. The single biggest fix is the water: boiling water scorches green leaf. Cool it to around 80C, keep the steep short, and you get the delicate, naturally sweet cup this tea is known for.
