Zhu Ye Qing3CZY Harvest: 01.04.2023
Origin: China / Sichuan / Leshan / Mabian
Height: 1200 m.a.s.l
Tea plant varietal: Lao Chuan Cha
Zhuyeqing means bamboo leaf green. It has an amazingly beautiful bamboo leaf shape (Zhenxingcha) with white tips. This tea from the Sichuan province is not of original provenance; genuine Zhuyeqing comes from Mount Emei, one of the four holy mountains of the Chinese Buddhism; it proves harder and harder to obtain good tea at reasonable prices from there.
Character:
A powerful tea, full, nicely tart, surprisingly sweet in the finish. A pleasurable taste remains in the mouth that keeps changeing: a delicate surprise.
