Grown in Southwestern China’s Mount Emei, Zhuyeqing tea is branded green tea (brand website). After seeing so many poorly presented, formerly state-owned brands it is nice to see a tea that understands design is part of the overall experience. Zhuyeqing is a refreshing green tea with noticeable grassy undertones.
More Information (from Baidu Baike):
Zhuyeqing is a type of green tea from Emei Mountain in Sichuan Province. Blessed by natural conditions great for the growth of tea, the region is home to several other types of tea too. But Zhuyeqing is the most well-known. Unlike most types of teas in China, Zhuyeqing is both a kind of tea and a brand name. It is also a relatively young breed pioneered in the 1960′s. The company that owns the trademark rights to Zhuyeqing has done a great job of marketing the tea, making it the most iconic tea from Sichuan. However, the line between tea type and brand names has become quite murky over the years. A lot of Zhuyeqing on the market is not produced by the eponymous tea company, but a variety of competitors. Moreover, many consumers do not even know that Zhuyeqing is a trademarked brand. They see it as a type of tea instead.
