Zhu E Qing Green Tea (Bamboo Leaf Freshness)

Zhu Ye Qing (竹叶青), meaning "Bamboo Leaf Freshness," is a refined Chinese green tea that gives you the feeling of a spring breeze wafting through your cup. Grown in Sichuan Province at an altitude of over 1,000 meters, this tea is known for its delicate needle-like leaves that float in the water like light emerald feathers.

The infusion is clean, transparent, light green.
