【What Is Zhu Ye?】
Zhu Ye ("Bamboo Wilderness") is the Da Chi Gan grade of Lan Tea's
Zhengshan Heritage Series. Sourced from one-bud-two-leaves spring pluck
of aged-bush Qizhong tea trees in Masu — the highest-altitude hamlet
(1,400m) in Tongmu Village, within Wuyishan National Park Core Zone,
home to the largest primary forest at its latitude on Earth.
Crafted using the traditional non-smoked method by Master Zhang
Biqing's six-generation family lineage — Senior Engineer,
Representative Inheritor of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage:
Traditional Wuyi Black Tea Making Craft.
Unlike smoked black teas, Zhu Ye preserves the bright
mountain-wilderness notes of aged-bush terroir, balanced with clean
sweetness — floral upfront, cool bamboo-leaf note in the finish,
persistent sweet aftertaste. The easiest entry point into Wuyi black
tea for green tea drinkers, and the best cold-brew candidate in the Lan
lineup.
【How It Differs from Chi Gan & Song Feng】
All three share the same Masu aged-bush source, differentiated by leaf
grade and cultivar age:
Zhu Ye — Da Chi Gan (1 bud 2 leaves, spring) · floral-bamboo ·
bright amber · best for cold brew
Chi Gan — Xiao Chi Gan (1 bud 1 leaf, spring) · honey-floral · golden
amber · daily & gifting
Song Feng — Lao Cong Da Chi Gan (century-old bush) · woody-bush · deep
red-brown · connoisseur
Zhu Ye is the cleanest, coolest, and most versatile for summer.
【Tasting Notes】
Appearance: Tight-rolled, glossy dark leaves
Liquor: Bright clear amber-orange
Aroma: Floral with cool bamboo-leaf finish
Taste: Smooth sweet, persistent aftertaste, clean entry without
astringency

Wuyishan National Park Core Zone · highest-altitude hamlet in Tongmu
(1,400m).
96% forest coverage · 400 years of ecological tea cultivation ·
wild-grown 200-year aged-bush Qizhong.
"No plantations, only tea mountains" — the most primal ecosystem, the
most traditional craft.
