Introduction to Zunyi Maofeng Tea

Tea News · Dec 24, 2025

Zunyi Maofeng tea is a famous tea created after the liberation of China. Its main characteristics are: the tea leaves are tight, thin, round, straight, and emerald green, with white hairs apparent, a lasting tender fragrance, a light green and clear liquor, and a pure, refreshing, and pleasant taste.

The reason for Zunyi Maofeng's fame is, firstly, the excellent quality of the tea leaves. This area has vast slopes and gentle terrain, with temperature and humidity suitable for tea tree growth; secondly, its unique production process. Every year, within 10 to 15 days around the Qingming Festival, after accumulating plastic substances throughout the winter, the tea trees are vigorous, and the tea buds grow robustly like spring bamboo shoots. The buds and leaves are tender and densely covered with fine hairs. Zunyi Maofeng is made through meticulous processing of these tea buds. Since its introduction in 1974, Zunyi Maofeng has been highly praised by people both at home and abroad.

Zunyi Maofeng not only has excellent quality but also carries unique symbolic meaning: its round and straight strips with visible tips symbolize the fearless heroic spirit of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army soldiers; its full coverage of white hairs, shining with a silvery light, symbolizes the everlasting radiance of the Zunyi Conference spirit; its high and lasting fragrance symbolizes the revolutionary integrity of the Red Army martyrs, which will be remembered for generations.

Zunyi Maofeng is a newly created famous tea in the green tea category, developed in 1974 to commemorate the famous Zunyi Conference. Currently, Zunyi Maofeng has entered the ranks of national famous teas and has repeatedly won provincial and ministerial awards for quality products.
