The Forgotten Craft of Zhu Ye Qing - Hunting for Historic Tea in Sichuan

Zhu Ye Qing — also known as Bamboo Leaf Green Tea — is one of the most famous and prized green teas in China, yet very few tea drinkers have tasted it in its original, handmade form. In this immersive tea documentary, I take you deep into the misty mountains of Sichuan, on a personal mission to hunt down the traditional Zhu Ye Qing — a style of tea that is rapidly disappearing in the age of modern, factory-produced leaves.

👉 What makes this tea so special?
👉 Why is the traditional version nearly extinct?
👉 What does real Zhu Ye Qing actually taste like?

This video is part travelogue, part tea education, and part archeological quest — as I navigate hidden tea villages, talk to seasoned tea makers, and attempt to locate this forgotten style of green tea once revered by emperors and poets.
