More About Enshi Yulu

The origin of Enshi Yulu?

Enshi Yulu originated in the area of Bajiao Township, Enshi City. According to legend, during the Kangxi period, there was a tea merchant in Huanglianxi, Enshi Bajiao. By 1936, on the basis of jade green tea, the pot was changed from frying to steam, which not only made the tea's soup green and the bottom of the leaves green, but also its appearance and color was oily and emerald green, like the color of green jade. Also renamed Yulu. In 1945, it was exported to Japan, and since then, "Enshi Yulu" has become famous in the world.

Where is Enshi Badong County?

Enshi, Hubei is China's natural selenium-rich agricultural production area, and is known as "the world's selenium capital". The soil here is fertile, with an annual average temperature of 16.4°C, an annual rainfall of about 1525 mm, and clouds and mist all year round, which is very suitable for the growth of tea trees.
Because the local land naturally contains selenium minerals, the tea produced also contains selenium. According to the analysis of the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Enshi Yulu dry tea contains 3.47mg/kg of selenium, and tea soup contains 0.01-0.52mg/kg of selenium, so Enshi Yulu is also a treasure in selenium-enriched tea.

What is Enshi Yulu's feature?

Enshi Yulu is a rare steamed green tea with needle-shaped green tea in history. Steaming is a key process in the traditional production process of Enshi Yulu. Different from other green tea methods, the high temperature of steam can quickly kill the green tea, which can destroy the activity of enzymes in fresh leaves in a very short time, and better retain the color, aroma and taste of tea leaves. Finally, the "three greens" characteristics of Yulu tea, "green in appearance, green in soup, and green at the bottom of leaves" can be presented.The shape resembling a pine needle also requires repeated hand-kneading by the tea maker before it can be formed.

There is a small tea mountain in Dali, Yunnan,
Located at an altitude of 2668 meters,
Clouds and sunlight cover each tea tree at the same time.
Every tea bud is a wild child bred by heaven and earth.
The unique environment affects the growth and development of tea,
and the long history has bred ancient tea trees that can be seen everywhere.
In the distance, there are undulating mountains,
There are also clouds and mist drifting in the mountains.
The so-called clouds and mist entering the cup are the true portrayal of the tea here.

Best organic tea + Best tea making process

The owner of the tea garden told us that he has adhered to the agricultural production method following the laws of nature for many years, based on the maintenance of soil vitality and main soil cultivation, and never used any chemical fertilizers, pesticides and Various growth regulators and any additions that are harmful to the soil are used to plant and maintain tea gardens.

Although in Chinese natural farms, this can be called a textbook-like existence. But for him, these are only the duties of the producer.

We explored this real natural tea garden, walked into it, and discovered its magic

What amazes us is that the fertilizer used in the tea garden comes from the excrement of cattle and black goats raised in the tea mountain.
In this farm, he created an ecosystem where all creatures and life share. The fungi, mosses, all kinds of wild herbs, and alpine rhododendrons here are all kinds, making people feel like they have strayed into the tropical rainforest.Among them, the tea tree occupies only one-third. The 600-mu mountain has an annual output of only 4,000 jin, which is very small for the common Yunnan tea mountains.
