Huangshan Maofeng Tea, formerly Huangshan Cloud & Mist Tea, is a masterwork well known to the world. Plucked very young at the stage of only a bud and a single unfolding leaf, the tea leaves look like tongues of birds with silver floss all about them, and are in the bright color of yellowish peak green; when infused in hot water, foggy steam with fresh fragrance is floating over the water. After being made, the liquor is clear and tastes fresheningly sweet with something of a bit bitterness. The tea drinkers have a saying about Huangshan Maofeng: The first cup is most fragrant, the second sweetest, the third strongest.
