How is Keemun Mao Feng made?

The production process of Keemun Mao Feng involves four main steps: plucking, withering, rolling, and drying.
The tea leaves are hand-plucked in the early spring, when the buds are still young and tender, to ensure the highest quality.
After plucking, the leaves are spread out to wither, which removes excess moisture and allows the leaves to become more pliable.
Then, the leaves are rolled into thin strips to release the tea’s natural oils and flavors.
Finally, the leaves are dried, which stops the oxidation process and locks in the tea’s unique taste and aroma.

This traditional method has been used for over a century, and it is what gives Keemun Mao Feng its distinctive flavor and aroma.
