Dianlu (Yunnan Green Tea)

Dianlu

　　Dianlu, or Yunnan Green Tea, is also known internationally as "Yunlu." Made from large-leaf tea cultivars, it is carefully crafted using tender one-bud-two-leaf shoots. Through processes such as high-temperature fixation, timely rolling, and rapid drying, enzyme activity and polyphenol oxidation are controlled to prevent fermentation of the buds and leaves, thereby preserving the tea’s original color. It is then rolled, shaped, and dried by sun-drying, baking, or pan-firing to produce green tea. The tea features a vibrant green hue, robust and plump leaves, a sweet aftertaste, and a lingering finish. It helps promote saliva production, relieve heat, soothe the throat, and quench thirst, making it especially refreshing to drink during the peak of summer.
