Enshi Jade Dew is delicate. To avoid bitterness, use water well below boiling. You can enjoy up to three infusions; the second steep often reveals the most vibrant "marine" notes.

The Experience

As one of the few Chinese green teas still crafted using the ancient Tang Dynasty steaming method, Enshi Jade Dew offers a profile unlike any other. Grown in the mineral-rich, "selenium-pure" soil of the Enshi mountains, these dark, pine-needle-shaped leaves yield a brilliant jade liquor that is remarkably crisp. Because it is steamed rather than pan-fired, it skips the "toasty" notes of other greens, instead offering a lush, vegetal sweetness reminiscent of spring dew and sweet snap peas. It is a clean, "cooling" tea that feels like a breath of fresh mountain air—and a natural boost for the body.

The Selenium Capital

Enshi is internationally recognized as the "World's Selenium Capital." The tea trees here absorb this essential mineral directly from the unique soil composition of the Hubei highlands. This natural enrichment, combined with the high-altitude mists that shield the leaves from direct sun, results in a tea that is as clean and restorative as a breath of mountain air.

Pairing & Lifestyle

With its high umami content and refreshing finish, Enshi Jade Dew pairs perfectly with light seafood, fresh salads, or fruit-based desserts. It is an ideal morning tea for those seeking a gentle, sustained energy lift without the jittery edge of coffee.
