With in Huang Shan Fu Xi is the most talked about region. It may have a connection to the largest local tea Xue Lao Da, who is in part responsinble for the standardizing of Mao Feng, coming from that region. With all its popularity I have had many Mao Fengs from that region, this by far is my favorite one.
The Fu Xi Mao Feng is the perfect introduction to Mao Feng. It is a simple and straight foward Mao Feng with no bells and whistles.
The dry aroma of this tea enchants with notes of honey combs with a little chive like freshness and vegetleness. The wet aroma a mixture of slight vegetal with umami which come together yielding a seaweed aroma.
This seaweed note comes out in the flavor as well but is well complimented by nutty notes and honey comb all coming together in a subtle, balanced complexity.
