The tea gives them away.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHuangshan — Yellow Mountain — is one of the most painted, most photographed, most written-about landscapes in China. Granite peaks rising through clouds. Ancient pine trees clinging to vertical rock faces. Mist that never fully lifts. It is a place that makes people feel, without quite knowing why, that they are in the presence of something very old and very true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMao Feng — \"Fur Peak\" — grows in this mist. The tea bushes absorb the mountain's moisture, its mineral-rich soil, its particular quality of light filtered through cloud. The result is a green tea unlike any other: delicate but not thin, fresh but not sharp, with a natural sweetness that lingers long after the cup is empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a tea you drink quickly.
