Description
En Shi Yu Lu is a very unique tea that originates
from En Shi City (Ba Jiao Village area) of Hubei
province. It is processed by Chinese
Ethnic Minority and is the only famous Chinese
green tea that is processed using steam method
entirely. This is the Chinese green tea that
most resembles Japanese green tea. En Shi Yu Lu
is also special because of its rich selenium
content, an essential trace mineral that helps
prevent cancer, cataract, heart disease, growth
disorders and many other ailments. Among the many
awards won by En Shi Yu Lu recently are
1. Hu Bei Cha Ye Xue Hui Jin Jiang Chan Pin (Hu
Bei Institute Gold Award Product) in year 2008,

Ming Cha (3rd Hu Bei Province 10 Famous Tea
Award). 3. Di Qi Jie Zhong Cha Bei Yi Deng Jiang
(7th China Tea Cup First Prize).
This tea also has a long history. En Shi City was
known to produce tea since the Tang Dynasty
(618-907). History records suggest that En Shi Yu
Lu was first created during Emperor Kang Xi's
reign. It was not always processed by steaming.
The processing method was improved from frying to
steaming in 1936 by "Yang Run of Hubei Province
Min Sheng" Tea Company. In 1945, En Shi Yu Lu was
introduced to Japan and it was so well accepted
that it was called "Chinese Gyokuro".

The liquor is very clear but the taste is not
weak at all. It has a distinct floral sweetness
and a pleasant aftertaste. Very refreshing and
special. We recommend using less tea leaves and
water temperature of 75-85c for this tea.
