The origin of Enshi Yulu?

Enshi Yulu originated in the area of Bajiao Township, Enshi City. According to legend, during the Kangxi period, there was a tea merchant in Huanglianxi, Enshi Bajiao. By 1936, on the basis of jade green tea, the pot was changed from frying to steam, which not only made the tea's soup green and the bottom of the leaves green, but also its appearance and color was oily and emerald green, like the color of green jade. Also renamed Yulu. In 1945, it was exported to Japan, and since then, "Enshi Yulu" has become famous in the world.

Where is Enshi Badong County?

Enshi, Hubei is China's natural selenium-rich agricultural production area, and is known as "the world's selenium capital". The soil here is fertile, with an annual average temperature of 16.4°C, an annual rainfall of about 1525 mm, and clouds and mist all year round, which is very suitable for the growth of tea trees. Because the local land naturally contains selenium minerals, the tea produced also contains selenium. According to the analysis of the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Enshi Yulu dry tea contains 3.47mg/kg of selenium, and tea soup contains 0.01-0.52mg/kg of selenium, so Enshi Yulu is also a treasure in selenium-enriched tea.

What is Enshi Yulu's feature?

Enshi Yulu is a rare steamed green tea with needle-shaped green tea in history. Steaming is a key process in the traditional production process of Enshi Yulu. Different from other green tea methods, the high temperature of steam can quickly kill the green tea, which can destroy the activity of enzymes in fresh leaves in a very short time, and better retain the color, aroma and taste of tea leaves. Finally, the "three greens" characteristics of Yulu tea, "green in appearance, green in soup, and green at the bottom of leaves" can be presented.The shape resembling a pine needle also requires repeated hand-kneading by the tea maker before it can be formed.
