Enshi Yulu, or Jade Dew, is one of the only Chinese green teas that is steam processed to "kill the green" and stop the oxidization process. The result is a much more sweet green tea with deep umami notes, which relates more closely to Japanese green teas rather than to most of the modern Chinese Green teas.
This year we are sourcing our Yulu from the Enlu factory just outside of Enshi. This producer has been an invaluable source of information about Enshi tea and always has the best price when it comes to Enshi Yulu. Tunbao, where this factory is based, was the first production area in Enshi we ever visited. With its higher elevation and pristine environment, it holds a special place in our hearts.
