2026 Enshi Yulu First Flush Spring Green Tea 50g
$39.99 USD
Unit price perEnshi Yulu is one of China’s rare steamed green teas, preserving an ancient processing tradition. This edition is First Flush — the very first picking of early spring, harvested as the tea trees awaken from winter dormancy.
Picked to the delicate one bud with one tender leaf standard, the young shoots are slender and vibrant. After resting through the winter months, the buds naturally accumulate nutrients and higher amino acid levels, resulting in a tea that is exceptionally fresh, smooth, and umami-rich.
Grown in the misty mountains of Enshi and crafted using traditional steaming techniques, this first harvest delivers a bright green liquor and a clean, lingering sweetness — a pure expression of spring at high elevation.

Entai Zao is a traditional tea variety from Enshi, part of the local Qunti variety (group variety) family — naturally seed-grown, not cloned. Each tree is slightly different, creating richer, more complex flavors.
These old tea trees grow scattered across Enshi’s hills, forming classic mountain tea gardens.
Officially recognized in 2007 as an approved variety for Enshi Yulu, Entai Zao is both traditional and authentic.
Key Features
- Shape: Short stems, narrow leaves, tight buds
- Color: Deep green
These traits give Enshi Yulu its signature pine-needle shape and bright green appearance.
We carefully selected the core production area of Enshi Yulu — the Dabaoping area in Baiyangping Town.
This region offers a naturally ideal environment for growing tea. Its high altitude, fertile soil, plenty of sunshine, and clear temperature difference between day and night all help the tea trees grow in excellent conditions.
Compared with tea from other areas, the Enshi Yulu grown here has a purer flavor and more consistent quality, offering better overall drinking value.
Master He Lingli learned tea-making from her father and has over 20 years of hands-on experience. She is a National Senior Tea Maker and certified Senior Tea Tasting Expert, ensuring consistent craftsmanship and quality.
The tea comes from the local Entai Zao cultivar, naturally grown at high elevations in small quantities.
With skilled hands and authentic local tea trees, Master He’s Enshi Yulu delivers both traditional technique and true regional character.

Orders are expected to ship in sequence between April 20–25.
As first-harvest tea is highly influenced by weather conditions, the exact picking schedule may vary. Our tea gardens are located at higher elevations, and the trees are mature, locally grown varietals, which naturally sprout later than standard plantations. This year’s harvest is expected to begin around April 15.
After picking, the tea requires careful processing, refining, packaging, and transportation, which takes additional time.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we prepare this year’s fresh spring harvest.
