Harvesting

Organic Loose Mao Feng Tea is grown in the mountainous regions of China, where the cool climate and fertile soil create ideal conditions. Skilled farmers use organic methods, avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilisers. The tea is harvested in early spring, with only the youngest, tender leaves hand-picked for their delicate flavour.

The leaves are carefully withered, rolled, and dried to maintain their natural qualities. Mao Feng Tea is known for its vibrant green colour and light, floral aroma. It is naturally rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals like vitamin C, potassium, and calcium, making it a refreshing and nourishing drink.

The organic nature of Organic Loose Mao Feng Tea means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Loose Mao Feng Tea in a compostable resealable pouch. This can be used for storage and reused multiple times before having it composted once it becomes worn or damaged. If you had the option to and selected a glass jar instead, you can reuse and/or repurpose the jar indefinitely and have it recycled at the end of its use.

The History of Organic Loose Mao Feng Tea

Organic Loose Mao Feng Tea dates back over 1,200 years to China’s Tang Dynasty. According to legend, it was discovered by a young woman who noticed a tea tree with leaves shaped like a sparrow’s tongue, inspiring the name "Mao Feng," meaning "Fur Peak.". Cherished for its delicate flavour and health benefits, this tea has been a part of Chinese culture for generations, enjoyed during ceremonies and as a symbol of hospitality. Today, its exceptional quality and organic cultivation continue to delight tea lovers around the world.
