A high-grade, floral, and naturally sweet “Hairy Crab” oolong tea, prized for its delicate aroma and silky finish.
Pure teaMao Xie Oolong — “Hairy Crab” (毛蟹)
From the mist-covered hills of Gan De Village in Anxi County, this exquisite high-grade oolong is a shining example of Fujian’s legendary craftsmanship.
Mao Xie, or “Hairy Crab,” earns its name from the fine silvery hairs on each tender leaf — a mark of freshness and quality. When steeped, these delicate threads drift gracefully to the surface, releasing a lusciously sweet aroma of orchid, cream, and warm sugarcane.
On the palate, Mao Xie reveals a thick, buttery texture balanced by gentle florals and a lingering honeyed finish. Compared to Tie Guan Yin (Iron Goddess of Mercy), it is richer, rounder, and more soothing, with a deeper sweetness that unfolds beautifully over multiple infusions.
