Zhu E Qing Green Tea, Premium (Bamboo Leaf Freshness) in a jar, 250 grams

Zhu Ye Qing (竹叶青), which translates as “Bamboo Leaf Freshness,” is one of China’s most famous premium green teas, originating from the Sichuan province. It is made from young spring buds and the most tender leaves, which are shaped into thin, graceful needles that resemble bamboo leaves.

This tea is famous for its incredibly clean, soft taste with delicate herbal and floral notes, a slight nutty tinge and a sweet, long aftertaste. The aroma is fresh, spring-like, with a barely noticeable minerality. The infusion is transparent green, refreshing, light.

The history of Zhu E Qing tea:

Zhu Ye Qing was first created in 1964 in Sichuan. Its appearance marked the birth of a new style of green tea, which quickly gained popularity among gourmets throughout China. The name “Bamboo Leaf Freshness” tea was given because of the shape and color of the leaves, which resemble young bamboo leaves, a symbol of spring purity and renewal. Sichuan craftsmen are famous for carefully selecting only the tender buds, and production is always limited to small batches, making this tea a true delicacy.
