History of Zhu Ye Qing "Bamboo Leaf Green"
Surrounded by mists and clouds most of the year, Mt. Emei has more than 1000 years of tea production history. The nourishing moisture and the soil contribute to a series of famous teas, such as Emei Xue Ya, Emei Mao Feng, and of course our Zhu Ye Qing. Although it is a well-known Chinese green tea, Emei Bamboo Leaf Green has a short history. It didn’t have a name until 1964.Back then, the former Foreign Minister Chen Yi visited Mount Emei. During his stay in Wannian Temple, the monks offered him this tea. He was impressed by the taste of it and asked for its name. The monks explained that this was a local tea without a name.
Chen Yi looked at the tea leaves, said that they shaped like baby bamboo leaves, and the taste reminded him of bamboo shoots. So he gave this tea the name “Zhu Ye Qing”, meaning “green bamboo leaf” in Chinese.
- A top-grade Zhuyeqing green tea, also known as the 'Bamboo Leaf Green', from scenic Mount Emei in Sichuan province. Emei Bamboo Leaf Green is one of the earliest teas plucked each spring. Zhu Ye Qing is a special kind of green tea that comes from Mount Emei (Emeishan). Located in Sichuan Province, Mount Emei is one of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains of China. The first Buddhist temple in China was built there.
- Zhuyeqing is the representative of Sichuan tea, which is famous. Bamboo leaf green is produced on Mount Emei. Mount Emei has beautiful scenery, green trees and fresh air. The tea trees growing here can be said to be the "boutique" of good tea.
- Zhu Ye Qing has risen to be one of the most famous teas in modern Chinese tea culture due to its exceptional quality and unique taste. This Zhu Ye Qing tea is grown in the high elevations of the lavish green misty Emei Mountains of Sichuan province. It was carefully plucked by hand, only buds, and delicately hand-processed. The dry leaves are actually very slim and small with a unified appearance.
- Brew a glass of Zhuyeqing tea and prepare for a visual spectacle. As the buds absorb water, they soften and often stand upright, dancing gracefully in the glass—a hallmark of exceptional quality that tea connoisseurs cherish . The liquor is a brilliant, clear yellow-green, inviting you to take your first sip.
- This dedication to excellence is reflected in the cup, displaying a stunning visual when the wet leaves stand erect in a glass brewing vessel, like a bamboo forest in your cup. Only premium quality Zhu Ye Qing has the attribute of a "standing" wet leaf. It is simply a delight to just appreciate the leaves.
- The flavor of Zhu Ye Qing Bamboo Leaf Green is complex and profoundly satisfying. It opens with vibrant, vegetal notes often described as fresh asparagus and tender green beans. This is layered with a creamy, buttery mouthfeel and subtle hints of wildflowers and sweet agave. The finish is incredibly clean, smooth, and refreshing, with virtually no astringency.
- This is a beautiful batch of Zhu Ye Qing which showcases the immensity of the heirloom Laochuan Qun Ti Zhiong cultivar. This tea is a rarity and delicacy that attracts tea connoisseurs around the world. It has a hint of nutty aroma, vegetal tastes of asparagus, apricot, and green bean, a good balance of buttery and grassy, full bodied, and very soothing and refreshing, like fresh air from the misty mountain filling your cup.
