Zhuyeqing and E Rui Tea

The tea factories at Mt.emei produce the famous green tea 'Zhuyeqing' and 'E'rui'. Of them, Zhuyeqing is picked before the Tomb Sweeping Festival. It is flat, even and emerald green. It looks much the same as the Dragon Well (Longjing) tea of Hangzhou but have different flavor. Tourists who visit the E'mei Mountain may choose and buy new tea in late spring and early summer. You had better make a decision whether to buy or not after savoring the tea on the spot if there is a place for making a tea lest you might buy old tea of former years. There are some tea specialty stores on both sides of mountain paths and in urban areas of the E'mei Mountain.
