Mao Feng, or Huangshan Maofeng to give it its full name, is a Chinese green tea with claimed health properties. It is one of the most famous China teas. Generally the same leaves can be used several times over, but to do that the leaves need to be removed from the hot water after a few minutes rather than left in. Tea Pigs don't mention that, but it is common with this particular tea, as explained here.
We like this tea. It is very green tasting and refreshing. When hot it has a mild savoury flavour - a little salty perhaps, or smoky, and is a bit like seaweed, particularly lava bread - a Swansea delicacy I love. When cold it is sweeter and has delicate fruit flavour.
Nice.
