Leishanjiao Ya Tea

Leishanjiao Ya Tea

　　Leishanjiao Ya Tea is a specialty of Leishan County in Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou Province. The tea features a tightly rolled, bud-filled appearance with vibrant emerald green color, a high and lasting aroma, a fresh and mellow taste, bright tender green liquor, and uniformly lively leaves. When steeped, the leaves stand upright like bamboo shoots emerging from the ground, creating a vivid and highly ornamental effect.

　　Leishanjiao Tea is grown in the heart of the Leigongshan National Nature Reserve, located in the central part of the Miao Mountains' main peak in Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou. This area lies within the core zone of a national forest reserve and is called "Jiao Yao" in the Miao language, which translates to "hidden realm" or "mysterious place" in Chinese. The tea gardens are situated at elevations between 1,400 and 1,600 meters on Jiao Yao Peak, with the village of Leishanjiao lying at its base — hence the name of the tea. The region is shrouded in mist, crisscrossed with streams, rich in fertile soil, and free from industrial pollution, making it an ideal location for producing organic tea.

　　Leishanjiao Tea is made from carefully selected one-bud-two-leaf early sprouts. The cool air slows the tea’s growth, resulting in thick, fragrant leaves with an elegant aroma, a fresh and mellow flavor, and bright emerald-green liquor. The tea is highly resistant to brewing, rich in organic selenium, and leaves drinkers feeling refreshed and uplifted. Regular consumption may help reduce inflammation and bacteria, strengthen the heart and promote urination, refresh the mind and nourish the lungs, protect the stomach and liver, lower fat and aid weight loss, and enhance overall health.
