The Mo Gan mountains lie in the west of Zhejiang, famous for its foggy clouds, green bamboo forests, crystal clear streams, and waterfalls. The local tea farmers follow traditional processing procedures, especially the special heat-steaming method.

Mo Gan Huang Ya is China’s oldest yellow tea dated back to the 4th century Jing dynasty. It was well described in the world’s first tea book “The Classic of Tea” by Lu Yu (733-804).
