Xinyang Maojian, also known as Yu Maofeng, is one of the top ten famous teas in China and one of the famous specialties in Henan Province. This spring-picked Xinyang Maojian is produced in Xinyang County of the Henan province. In 1990, the Xinyang Maojian brand participated in the national appraisal and won the first place in the comprehensive quality of green tea. Xinyang Maojian is known as the “king of green tea”.

It is known for its unique and delicious flavor. The color is yellowish especially when boiled with water. The tea liquor is slightly thick and tastes refreshingly brisk and with a long-lasting aftertaste.

The tea leaves, which are covered in abundant white hairs, are thin, tender and evenly shaped. The leaves are commonly known as "hairy tips”, a name that refers to their slightly dark-green color, straight and delicate edges, and thin and firmly rolled appearance with both ends in a pointed shape.
Another notable characteristic of the Xinyang Maojian is its fragrant aroma. This is attributed to the presence of significant amounts of acids and esters such as the Hexaecanoic and Phtalic acids, which collectively give off a strong floral smell. After brewing Maojian and pouring the water into a teacup, the aroma will flow into the air and create a peaceful atmosphere.
