Zhu Ye Qing Bamboo – Prestigious Emei Mountain Green TeaZhu Ye Qing, or "Bamboo Green Leaf, " is among the most prestigious Chinese green teas. It's produced on beautiful Emei Shan in Sichuan Province, southwest China — one of China's Four Sacred Mountains, famous for its breathtaking scenery and abundant bamboo forests. The tea plantations sit high on the mountain slopes, covered by thick fog and heavy mist for most of the year, creating ideal conditions for sweet, tender leaves. Zhu Ye Qing is harvested before Qing Ming, beginning just a few days before the festival in early April, when the first, most delicate spring buds appear. Its flat, slender leaves resemble bamboo leaves, giving the tea its poetic name. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItZhu Ye Qing offers a pure, refreshing taste of early spring in the mountains. Its gentle sweetness and delicate vegetal character make it an elegant, soothing green tea for mindful moments. It's a graceful cup for any time of day.
How to EnjoyBrew it in a clear glass to watch the slender leaves stand and float, and re-steep for several cups. It pairs well with light dishes, steamed vegetables and seafood. Pure, graceful and full of mountain freshness, Zhu Ye Qing Bamboo is a treasured Chinese green tea. |

A little steeping tipLet just-boiled water cool for a minute or two — water that’s too hot can turn delicate leaves bitter. Good leaves give a lovely second cup, too.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
