From Yunnan Sourcing

We’ve been selling a Hairy Crab oolong for more than 15 years and we thought it was the best “Mao Xie” varietal there was. Now in 2023 we’ve found another garden in Gan De village, but at a higher altitude! The taste is thick and sweet and the thickness of the leaves allows for many textured steeps! This is truly the King of Hairy Crab!

Mao Xie aka “Hairy Crab” is a type of Anxi oolong tea that grows in many places in Anxi county of Fujian. MaoRead more

It took me a while to connect with this tea, but the last few cups I have really enjoyed. At first, it seemed like a basic lighter-colored oolong without anything special. It has orchid florals and a green grapey-type fruitiness and honestly there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot more going on here flavor-wise. It just has a really nice texture and lasting presence which grows on you over time. And a pleasing feeling of freshness. Despite the apparent simplicity of the tea and its basic flavors, it has a higher level of quality to it that is winning me over.
