Teapigs Mao Feng green tea pyramid

There's a fascinating story behind this tea. It's about love of two people working at the tea plantation. The owner of the plantation was well-known of his cruelness. The girl managed to escape the plantation; however, when the owner found out about it he killed her fiancé. When the girl found out about it she cried so much and so long so that she became a rain cloud and the body of her lover turned into a tea bush. The legend explains why in the Mao Feng region tea grows in a very humid climate all year long.

Origin: Anhui Province, China

Teapigs is a British company. They are using only quality real tea. By quality real tea, we mean whole leaf tea, whole leaf herbs, whole berries, whole spices and whole flowers. Not the dusty stuff you’ll find in regular paper teabags.

It's all about the flavour. The tea in regular tea bags has been squashed, chopped and manhandled so, by the time it reaches your cup, almost all the flavour is lost. We don't think that's very nice.

The whole leaves, berries, herbs, flowers and spices in Teapigs tea temples have been handled gently and with love, to maintain every drop of that precious flavour.

Teas worthy of worship deserve their own temple. Teapigs teas come in special tea “temple” – a biodegradable mesh bag that gives the whole leaves lots of room to infuse. Looks pretty too. Loose tea without the fuss.

Teapigs racked up 60 Great Taste Awards over the years!
