Our Zhu Ye Qing tea is meticulously crafted using traditional stir-fixation methods. The tea leaves are hand-picked from the lush tea gardens of Emei Mountain, Sichuan. The region's unique climate, with its cool temperatures and high elevation, contributes to the exceptional quality and vibrant green color of Zhu Ye Qing tea.
Fixation
By using high temperatures to inhibit fermentation and the enzymatic oxidation of substances such as tea polyphenols, fixation preserves the inherent green color of the tea leaves while reducing their moisture content and softening them in the process.
Rolling
The process involves applying external force to break and lighten the tea leaves, rolling them into strips and reducing their volume while disrupting their structure. Additionally, some tea juices are extruded and adhere to the surface of the leaves, significantly enhancing the tea's flavor intensity.
Drying
Drying is the final step in the initial processing of tea leaves. It involves evaporating excess moisture, deactivating enzyme activity, and halting enzymatic oxidation. This process also promotes thermochemical reactions within the tea leaves, enhancing their aroma and flavor.
