Due to the special cultivars, climate, and quality of the tea leaves, this type of tea is rich in amino acids, vitamins, and microelements. The highest quality green teas are made from spring young buds and leaves, traditionally processed to prevent oxidation and to keep the tea leaf in its original chemical composition. Green tea regulates body temperature and is very good in the summertime.

ORIGIN
The Emei Mountain range is located in Sichuan Province, southwestern China. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is characterized by its steep, rugged terrain, dense forests, and diverse flora and fauna. The area's unique climate, with warm and humid summers and cool winters, provides ideal conditions for tea cultivation. The tea gardens are situated at high altitudes (generally between 600 and 1,000 meters), which significantly influences the growth and flavor of Emei Zhu Ye Qing. The misty environment and rich soil contribute to the tea's distinct taste, providing the perfect balance of sweetness and umami.
ORGANOLEPTIC
To brew Emei Zhu Ye Qing, water should be heated to around 70-80°C (158-176°F). Using a ratio of about 3-5 grams of tea leaves per 150 ml of water, the tea can be steeped multiple times (typically 2-3 times), with each infusion showcasing its evolving flavors.
This exquisite tea is crafted from fresh buds harvested in early spring. The dried leaves emit a subtle, sweet aroma. Following a quick rinse, the fragrance evolves into delicate notes of green vegetables, cream, and flowers. The flavor profile is light, smooth, and sweet, featuring hints of fresh nuts, honey, and vegetables. This noble green tea boasts a distinctive character and remarkable sensory qualities.
