Tea of the Month
Mount Feather
Mount Feather, also known as Mao Feng, originates from the misty mountains of Huangshan in Anhui — a region long associated with some of China’s most revered teas. First crafted during the late Qing Dynasty, it became known for its slender, tongue-shaped leaves, fine white hairs, and a liquor that is clear, pale, and quietly expressive.
In the cup, Mount Feather reveals a gentle orchid-like aroma and a fresh, lingering sweetness. Elegant rather than forceful, it’s the kind of green tea that rewards attention.
Over time, Mao Feng became more than a local specialty. It was recognised nationally as one of China’s most important teas and later chosen as an official gift tea — a symbol of refinement, balance, and craftsmanship.
Simply Mount Feather
Simply Freshness
Mount Feather is packed close to where it’s processed, while the leaves are still at their best. Less time travelling, less handling — more of the tea’s natural aroma and freshness preserved from leaf to cup.
Many people think green tea tastes overly vegetal or even unpleasant. In reality, that usually comes down to freshness. When green tea travels long distances before being packed, oxidation continues and the flavour shifts — becoming dull, grassy, or harsh.
By packing Mount Feather close to its source, we keep the tea clean, soft, and balanced — exactly how green tea is meant to taste.
Less time in between means less oxidation — and a cleaner, softer cup of green tea.
Simply Pure
Grown organically and harvested with care, Mount Feather is allowed to develop at its own pace. No forced growth. No unnecessary intervention. Just clean, honest tea, exactly as it should be.
Fun Facts about Green Tea
Green tea is often misunderstood. Here are a few things worth knowing — without the myths.
Green tea is tea in its most untouched form. It’s heated right after harvest to lock in freshness — before time, travel, or bad habits get involved.
It's a tea that is basically in its original mood.
Green tea is delicate — and it shows. Once it loses freshness, the flavour drifts. What should feel light and clean ends up grassy, flat, or sharp. Brew it with care. Don’t rush it, don’t overheat it, and don’t leave it too long.
Green tea doesn’t like being messed with.
Green tea is rich in antioxidants because it’s gently processed.
By stopping oxidation early, more of the leaf’s natural catechins are kept intact — which is where those antioxidants come from.
Think of green tea as the elegant mother, and matcha as her hipster son. They come from the same leaf, but grow up very differently. Matcha is bold, intense, and you drink the whole leaf — which is why it often gets the spotlight for its health benefits.
Green tea takes a calmer route. The leaves are infused, not consumed, creating a lighter, clearer cup you can return to again and again. Same origin. Different personalities.
Let’s keep it simple, the green rule is 80°C. 3–5 minutes. Hotter or longer than that will ruin the tea. What should taste light and clean turns bitter and flat. Remember, green tea is delicate!

Brewing the perfect cup(s)
Brewing
Add one spoonful (2–3g) of Mount Feather to the brewing cup. Pour in 80°C water for a quick rinse, then discard the first infusion.
Refill with hot water and brew gently for up to 3 minutes.
Readying
Once the brew is ready, pour all the tea into the serving cup to stop further brewing. This keeps the flavour light, clean, and balanced.
If you wish, place the serving cup on a heat pad or candle warmer to keep it warm.
Serving
Serve the tea in small cups and enjoy it in sips. Chinese green tea is meant to be shared and savoured slowly.
While serving, you can already prepare the next brew.
