Green Spirit – Green Prickly Ash (Tengjiao)
Amid the vast land of Ziyang City, Sichuan Province, stretches a 2,000 mu (approx. 133.33 hectares) lush green prickly ash plantation — the exclusive tengjiao base of Xuemailon.
July brings sweltering heat across Bashu region, yet the plump tengjiao berries usher in their annual harvest season with full vitality. These emerald berries are rich in volatile aromatic oils. When crushed, they release a bright citrus-like freshness that gradually unfolds into a lingering woody aroma, encapsulating the misty essence of Bashu’s mountains and clouds within every single berry.
To preserve the intact oil sacs of fresh tengjiao from mechanical damage, we stick to traditional manual picking. As early as 6 a.m., diligent farmers start their work. They carefully strip off the leaves to expose clusters of fresh tengjiao on the branches, then snip the leaf-free twigs with scissors and pluck the berry bunches by hand into woven back baskets.Harvested fresh tengjiao is rushed to the production workshop immediately for traditional cold pressing. After multiple refining procedures, it turns into rich, aromatic fresh green prickly ash oil.
For another variant: tengjiao picked with a small amount of attached leaves undergoes natural sun-drying to become the well-known dried green prickly ash. The dried berries are then concentrated and refined into tengjiao essential oil via supercritical carbon dioxide extraction technology.
Both processing methods transform round, plump berries into translucent, glossy tengjiao oil. Stored in low-temperature warehouses, the oil is blended into a wide range of finished products for our clients, who incorporate it into countless tengjiao-flavored foods, letting its distinctive fragrance live on in new forms.
Tengjiao delivers an unparalleled sensory experience for the palate, with an even more captivating lingering finish. Long after other spices fade away, its numbing tingle ripples gently across the tongue, accompanied by subtle sweetness and a cool, refreshing sensation — an unforgettable natural gift worth savouring.
