Product Description:

Zhuyeqing is a famous high-mountain green tea from Mount Emei, Sichuan, China. Named for its slender leaves resembling bamboo shoots, this tea boasts a long history and superior quality, historically honored as imperial tribute tea. It combines cultural heritage with a refined and elegant flavor profile.

This tea is made from tender early-spring buds, carefully hand-picked and crafted through pan-frying, rolling, and drying. The dry leaves are slender and straight, with a glossy green color. When brewed, the tea liquor is bright and clear, with a lasting fresh aroma and smooth, mellow taste.

The first infusion is crisp and lively, with subtle chestnut and bamboo notes, offering a silky smooth mouthfeel. The mid-infusion develops a fuller, more rounded flavor with lingering sweetness. The final cup is clear, refreshing, and gently sweet, almost without any bitterness. Overall, Zhuyeqing perfectly reflects the freshness of high-mountain green tea and its characteristic bamboo-like elegance.

Zhuyeqing is ideal for brewing in a glass cup, allowing the leaves to unfurl beautifully and the tea liquor to remain vibrant and clear, making it both visually appealing and delightful to drink.
