Ye Zhu Tang Village (lit. Wild Pig Pool) is small village about 5 miles to the north of Jinggu town and about two miles west (and uphill) from the Jinggu river.  Ye Zhu Tang village is at about 1750 meters and the tea trees grow along a steep hillside between 1800-1900 meters.  The tea trees grow naturally and aged 60 to 120 years.

Ye Zhu Tang Spring tea is strong tasting, with a thick honey colored tea soup and a pungent granary, fruit and floral taste and aroma.  There is a balanced bittersweet/astringent mouth-feel.  Cha Qi is invigorating and kind-spirited.
