First Grade Du Zhong Eucommia Bark Tea from Zhang Jia Jie

What is Eucommia Bark Tea

Du Zhong Eucommia Bark Tea from Zhang Jia Jie derives its name from the Eucommia ulmoides tree, commonly known as “Du Zhong.” This name translates from Chinese as “alone in the middle,” reflecting the tree’s unique position in its genus with no close relatives. The tea is made from the dried bark of this tree, which is valued in traditional Chinese medicine for its health-promoting properties. The use of “bark” in the name highlights its origin from the actual tree bark, distinguishing it from ordinary leaf-based teas. This Eucommia Bark Tea is renowned for its slightly sweet, yet mildly bitter flavor, and its reputation for promoting various health benefits makes it a popular choice among health-conscious individuals.

The history of Du Zhong Eucommia Bark Tea stretches back over a millennium, deeply rooted in Chinese medicinal practices. It was first documented in the classic herbal text “Shennong Bencaojing” (The Divine Farmer’s Herb-Root Classic), which dates back to between 200 and 250 AD. Historically, it was prized by Chinese royalty and nobility for its reputed longevity and vitality-enhancing properties. Over the centuries, it has maintained a reputation for promoting health and was often used by warriors and athletes to improve endurance and strength. This long-standing history reflects the tea’s esteemed place in traditional Chinese medicine, where it has been utilized for its therapeutic effects on the liver and kidneys, enhancing overall vitality.

The processing of Du Zhong Eucommia Bark Tea is an intricate and careful procedure that preserves both the flavor and medicinal qualities of the bark. After harvesting, the bark is cleaned and then undergoes a slow drying process in shaded areas to prevent loss of potent compounds. This method ensures that the active ingredients are retained, contributing to the tea’s health benefits. The dried bark is then cut into strips or ground into a powder, depending on the desired product format. This meticulous process ensures that the tea maintains its characteristic slightly sweet, yet mildly bitter flavor, and its array of health benefits. The traditional processing techniques are crucial in preserving the tea’s natural properties, which include anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, making it a valued addition to health regimens.
