Gan Zao Ye (甘枣叶) or Wild Jujube Tea is a 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 <a href="https://yunnansourcing.com/search?q=laoshan+tea">wonderful green and black teas</a>.  Wild Jujube grows at an altitude of 600-1000 meters and is picked in the month of April and May
The taste is soupy and very thick, it has notes of barley, jiaogulan-like sweetness, and 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 May and then carefully processed to preserve their fine state.  The Classic Wild Jujube (this listing you are reading now) is larger leaf than the Imperial grade, and also has a more robust flavor and thick tea soup.  Medicinally speaking this is the more powerful of the two types we offer.  Some people will prefer this one to the <a href="https://yunnansourcing.com/products/imperial-grade-gan-zao-ye-wild-jujube-tea-from-laoshan-village">Imperial Grade we offer here</a>
