Why choose this Huangshan Maofeng?

Top-shelf ingredients: Harvested from 60-year-old tea trees planted in high-altitude (800 meters) gravelly soil, these conditions endow the tea leaves with rich minerals and a unique sweet orchid aroma.
Traditional craftsmanship: Made by an experienced tea master using traditional drying techniques, preserving the natural aroma and taste of the tea leaves.

Enshi Yulu is a long-standing Chinese green tea made with the traditional steaming process, making it the only green tea in China that still uses this ancient method. The steaming technique was passed from China to Japan during the Tang Dynasty and has since become the main process for Japanese green tea. With its unique seaweed aroma, similar to Japanese sencha, Enshi Yulu retains the essence of traditional Chinese tea making.

Our Enshi Yulu comes straight from the heart of its production area, the Banqiao Dong Autonomous Township in Enshi, Hubei, China. The tea leaves are personally handpicked and crafted by Master He, a tea farmer with over 20 years of experience. His garden grows local Enshi tea varietals, and he selects only the highest grade of one bud and one leaf to ensure every sip is fresh, rich, and sweet without astringency, accompanied by a slight seaweed flavor. Most importantly, this tea is naturally rich in selenium, an essential trace element that can boost immunity, combat oxidation, and help lower blood pressure. Enshi, known as the "Selenium Capital of the World," offers these health benefits through its tea.

Reasons to choose Enshi Yulu:

Unique craftsmanship and historical legacy: For tea enthusiasts who love to explore traditional tea culture, Enshi Yulu offers a taste of China's oldest steaming process with a seaweed aroma reminiscent of Japanese green tea. Consumers who appreciate the flavor profile of Japanese sencha will also enjoy the distinctive taste of the steaming process.
Great value for money: We've selected a mid-range Enshi Yulu that maintains the quality of the core production area and authentic craftsmanship while being affordable. It's a fantastic green tea with a high cost-performance ratio, perfect for those who seek quality without breaking the bank.
Health benefits: Rich in selenium, Enshi Yulu offers antioxidant properties and can enhance immunity, making it ideal for health-conscious tea drinkers.
Cultural charm: This tea is from the ethnically diverse Enshi region, home to the Dong, Tujia, and Miao ethnic groups, among others. Interested consumers can even visit Enshi to experience the unique culture and natural environment firsthand.
Not recommended for:

Tea lovers who prefer the strong, pan-fried aroma of roasted green teas like Longjing or Biluochun, as Enshi Yulu does not have those flavors.
Those who dislike the seaweed aroma: If you're not a fan of the fresh, oceanic scent that comes from the steaming process, Enshi Yulu might not be your cup of tea.
Whether you're interested in traditional craftsmanship, health benefits, or great value, Enshi Yulu is an ideal choice for you.
