Gan Zao Ye (甘枣叶) or Wild Jujube Tea is an herbal tea made from wild jujube plants picked in the spring of this year in Laoshan Village area of Shandong. Laoshan Village is also the home to some wonderful green and black teas. Wild Jujube grows at an altitude of 600-1000 meters and is picked in the months of April and May.

The taste is soupy and very thick with notes of barley, jiaogulan-like sweetness and a long-lasting, rich taste. The aroma is fruity and very sweet, filling the room with a baked fruitcake type aroma.

Our Imperial Grade Gan Zao Ye is picked when the leaves are young and tender in April and then carefully processed to preserve their fine state. Imperial Grade Wild Jujube is uniquely tender and looks like a high grade green tea at first glance, uniform in size with few stems when dry.

We also offer a slightly more coarse and robust version here:
