About Zhu Ye Qing
A very recent tea, Zhu Ye Qing was created in the early 1960s by a Monk near the top of the famous buddhist mountain, Emei Shan (UNESCO Cultural Heritage site). The name was derived from its similar shape to a bamboo leaf with both ends pointed; noted by a high government minister at the time. The tea produces a clear light-green brew with very grassy undertones; a truly refreshing tea.
China is the birthplace of tea. It was here that tea was accidentally discovered by Emperor Shen Nung over 5,000 years ago. Ever since its discovery by China, tea was used only as a green tea for centuries. Hence China produces the world's finest green teas.
The tea leaves used for green tea are steamed or pan-dried immediately after picking, arresting bacterial growth and preventing oxidation. Then they are rolled by hand to squeeze out excess moisture and to release flavor enzymes. The leaves are finally fired in large driers and packed. When brewed, then turn a light green color, with a flavor that is sometimes delicate and somewhat tangy.
Green teas are rich in vitamin C. Experts contend that they stimulate the spirit better than any other blend, claiming that it improves their abilities to think and meditate for prolonged periods without fatigue.
Not many people in China have heard of Zhu Ye Qing in the past but it now one of the most popular tea in the country due to TV advertisement and more so because of its exceptional quality. The advertisement appropriately carries the slogan "Ping Chang Xin" which means "Relaxing Heart" as the refreshing and soothing aroma of this tea is sure to relax your body and mind.
This tea won the first prize in the 6th "China Tea Cup" Well-Known and High-Quality Tea Appraisal by China Tea Science Society in Jul 2005. The name Zhu Ye Qing was given by the Foreign Minister Chen Yi in 1964 when he first tasted this tea in the Temple of Ten Thousand Years in Mount Emei. It means "Green Bamboo Leaf", a tribute to the tea's clear liquor and full of life green tea leaves that seemingly dance in the water when infused.
