Huangshan Mao Feng Tea, one of China's ten most famous green teas, was first produced in 1875 during The Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) in the area around Huangshan Mountain. The area features ideal growing climate for the tea. The tea trees are grown at altitudes of over 700 meters, and the fertile soil, cool air, and adequate rain make the tea leaves large and strong which gives Huangshan Mao Feng tea its long lasting aroma. What distinguishes Huangshan Mao Feng Tea from other Mao Feng Teas is the color of its leaves. The tea liquor is jade green in color and has a light flowery fragrance Huangshan Mao Feng Tea's name derives from its appearance and its growing location. The leaves look like the tongues of birds covered with silvery floss.

In Chinese, "Mao" means fluffy, and "Feng" means mountain peaks. Although Huangshan Mao Feng Tea is not a scented tea, it has many properties similar to scented tea. The tea liquor has an apricot flavor, and a fragrance like magnolias. No apricot trees or magnolias grow in the area, so it is unknown how Huangshan Mao Feng Tea gets its unique flavors. There is however wild peach trees that grow in close proximity to the tea plants, and that may be the cause. Huangshan Mao Feng Tea drinkers say that the first brewing is fragrant, the second brewing is sweet, and the third brewing is strong. The tea tastes clean and refreshing, and lasts a long time on the tongue.
