Organic Emerald Cloud (Wu Lu) Green Tea

Some teas wake you up.

And some teas help you slow down enough to notice the world around you.

Organic Emerald Cloud (Wu Lu) is the latter.

Grown among the mist-covered mountains of Huang Shan, this elegant Chinese green tea captures the quiet beauty of its surroundings. As the leaves unfurl, they release a fresh aroma reminiscent of spring rain, mountain air, and newly opened leaves. The liquor is smooth and clean, carrying delicate nutty notes balanced by a gentle vegetal sweetness that feels both refreshing and comforting.

Every cup offers a moment of calm—a chance to pause, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the simple pleasure of a well-crafted tea.

Origin & History

Wu Lu (霧綠), often translated as Emerald Cloud or Jade Cloud, is a traditional name for high-quality pan-fired green teas in China.

This tea is sourced from Huang Shan (Yellow Mountain) in southern Anhui Province, one of China's most celebrated tea-growing regions. Famous for its dramatic peaks, rolling clouds, and cool mountain climate, Huang Shan has inspired poets, artists, and tea masters for centuries.

The tea garden where this batch is grown sits within a landscape that remains lush, misty, and remarkably green throughout much of the growing season. These conditions allow the leaves to develop slowly, creating greater sweetness, balance, and aromatic complexity.

The result is a tea that beautifully reflects its environment—fresh, vibrant, and naturally elegant.

How It Is Made

Organic Emerald Cloud is crafted using traditional pan-firing techniques, a method used in China for generations to preserve freshness and prevent oxidation.

Shortly after harvest, the leaves are gently heated in large pans, locking in their vibrant colour and delicate flavour while preserving their natural sweetness.

This careful process creates a tea with exceptional clarity, allowing the subtle nutty notes, fresh vegetal character, and smooth texture to shine through.

The leaves remain beautifully intact, unfolding gracefully during brewing and revealing new layers of flavour with every infusion.
