Zhu Ye Qing Bamboo

Zhu Ye Qing Bamboo – Prestigious Emei Mountain Green Tea

Zhu 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.
