Huangshan Maofeng is also called “Yellow Mountain Fur Peak” in English, because the leaves are covered with white hairs and the processed leaves looks like peaks of mountains.
For this kind of tea, the best teas should be picked in the early spring before Qingming Festival (A Chinese festival in middle spring). Only the new buds which look like orchid buds on the tea trees and the leaves near by the buds are picked for making the tea.
