Sichuan bamboo leaf tea Zhu Ye Qing from the Mount Emei region with a sweet energizing note, grown at ca. 5.000 feet above sea level. The prize-winning tips & leaves are picked in late spring. Gentle steaming & drying, and the touch of exotic fruits give this coarse leaf its exquisite taste. Clear and pale infusion. The infusion of this 'Zhu Ye Qing Export Grade' is jade-green and creates a sweet & fruity taste on the palate. Use two teaspoons tea per 8 cup and let infuse for 3 minutes. As the grade is superior and low in tannic acid you will get several infusions out of one serving. Just add hot water a second time and let infuse up to 5 minutes. To sweeten consider Rock Candy Crystals or our popular Oregon Tea Honeys # 88005. Theine (caffeine) content: Low General Information: Mount Emei (Eyebrow Mountain) is a range located in the Sichuan province of Western China. Mt. Emei (occasionally referred to as Mt. Emeishan) is one of the four sacred buddhist mountains in China. The patron bodhisattva of Emei is Samantabhadra, in some Chinese sources called Puxian. As far back as the 16th century, the Emei region is also known for the practice of martial arts in the monasteries. Mount Emei was made a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1996. This is the location of the first Buddhist temple built in China in the 1st century AD. The site houses nearly seventy Buddhist monasteries of the Ming and Qing period, most of them located at high elevations near the mountain top. The monasteries demonstrate a flexible architectural style that adapts to the landscape. Some are built on terraces of varying levels, others are on raised stilts.
