Located in southern Henan Province, Xinyang is a place with a mild climate and good conditions for growing trees that produce the tea's unique quality: Xinyang tea trees are planted at high altitudes where the weather is clearly divided by four distinct seasons. Many high mountains, such as Mt. Cheyun, Mt. Jiyun, and Mt. Tianyun, also surround the location in order to support environmental humidification and moisture. Moreover, there is an abundance of forests, clouds, rainfall, and a large temperature difference between day and night. These geographical advantages help keep Xin Yang's soil healthy and fertile, while trees more efficiently absorb chemical elements to produce higher quality green tea.

The appearance of the Mao Jian tea's leaves are commonly known as "hairy tips”, a name that refers to the leaves' slightly dark-green color, straight and delicate edges, and thin and firmly rolled appearance with both ends in a pointed shape.After brewing Maojian and pouring the water into a teacup, the aroma will flow into the air and create a peaceful atmosphere.
