Huang Shan Mao Feng Significance:
Huang Shan Mao Feng, also known as Huangshan Maofeng, comes from the southeastern part of Anhui province in China on the Eastern part of China near Shanghai. The literal English translation is Yellow Mountain Fur Peak and legend tells of a young girl who would not marry her true love and found he had been killed by the man who would claim her for his own. Her tears over his grave became rain and his body became a tea tree.
