About Xin Yang Mao Jian 信陽毛尖
It’s been a while since we have commissioned a Xin Yang Mao Jian, one of China’s most renowned green tea with fame that rivals Long Jing. As Tea Drunk’s golden standard goes, a historically famous tea needs to satisfy our rigorous 4-point criteria to make it to our collection.
It needs to come from the historic lot of a historic terroir, no newly planted trees nor in newly cultivated fields. Has to be harvested from the most revered cultivars from this historic terroir, in the case of green and yellow tea, it’s always heirloom tea trees through sexual reproduction (planted with seed, not samplings). It needs to be harvested and made on the best 1 - 3 days of the short 10-15 day season, sunny and cool days. This is to ensure that we capture the best a vintage has to offer. But just having the right location, the right trees and the right time is not enough.
A historically famous tea, for it to deserve the prestige, needs to be made with the utmost skills and rigor, no corner cutting to save time or increase batch size. Long story short, this Xin Yang Mao Jian is harvested from indigenous heirloom tea trees from the most renown village of its historic origin mountain Che Yun Shan and is from the favored side of the mountain that faces southeast.
The tea is 100% handmade and charcoal baked and Ti Xiang. The tea has gone through the one week resting time between primary processing and fining, as well as the three week mandatory resting time after fining that is required for all traditional teas. The result is a classic Mao Jian that is sharp but not aggressive, aromatic and grounded, umami and delicately floral, with long and layered aftertaste.
Have a sip of regular water after you finish sipping the tea and see how much your palate has been transformed by this amazing tea. This is one of my favorite green teas. I think it embodies the essence of a historically famous tea that makes me understand why past connoisseurs were so enchanted by it. I hope you enjoy it just as much!

This product is from one of those super rad, small businesses that we’ve vetted and love. But since they're the experts, they'll be shipping it directly to you.

(Real) Ingredients
(Real) Ingredients
We use real pronounceable ingredients that are ethically sourced and high quality for your product.
We either grow or work with local growers to source for our formulas. This supports the local economy, gives us the most potent plants & reduces reliance upon fossil fuels.
We make products from herbs that will grow here over herbs from the Amazon, China, or Africa. Oftentimes, those trendy herbs are taken in an unsustainable way & local people do not have access to their native medicines any longer. Bioregional herbalism is where it's at!

We are working to eliminate plastic from our packaging. Currently, 99% of our packaging is metal, glass, or paperboard. We are always looking for ways to eliminate microplastics from your body and the planet!
How to Use
How to Use
Herbal remedies, supplements, and tonics are fundamentally different from pharmaceuticals (and we like it that way). They are designed to restore your body and its systems to homeostasis gently- working with your body.
Specifics on dosages and administration for all products are in our FAQ. Find the FAQ in the menu under the "About" Section.
We post basic dosage guidelines, but keep in mind if you have more body mass or a faster metabolism than the average bear, you may need to take a larger dose than indicated. If there are hard-and-fast limitations on how often you can take the product, it will be listed on the package. Most can be used up to six times daily without problems (but we doubt that you would need to do that).
Remember, there are no "magic bullets" in life, and any product (herbal, pharmaceutical, or otherwise) claiming 100% success without knowing you, your constitution, and your lifestyle is lying and trying to get into your wallet. Often, herbalists (and MDs) need to try several products before we find the one that works for your unique biochemistry.
Feel free to email us if the product didn't quite do the job, we can recommend another that could do the trick. We are blessed with many plants that have the same action in the body- and often it's just a matter of finding the right one for you.
