Description
Bi Luo Chun – Famous "Green Snail Spring" Chinese Green TeaBi Luo Chun is one of China's most famous teas. Our artisan Bi Luo Chun is grown and crafted in the Dongting Mountain area of Jiangsu Province, near Lake Tai, and has a history of more than 1, 000 years. It's renowned for its delicate appearance and its elegant, deep aroma and taste. The name Bi Luo Chun literally translates to "green snail spring, " describing this early spring green tea's tightly rolled spiral leaves, which resemble tiny snails. The slim, tightly rolled leaves are green, flecked with white downy buds throughout, and carry a rich herbal aroma. Legend says the tea's fragrance was once so intoxicating that it was nicknamed "scary fragrance" before an emperor gave it its poetic name. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItBi Luo Chun is a refined, elegant green tea with remarkable depth for such a delicate leaf. Its floral-fruity character and smooth, fresh taste make it a must for any tea enthusiast, and like all green teas, it contains natural caffeine.
How to EnjoyBrew it in a clear glass to watch the tiny spirals unfurl and dance, and enjoy several infusions. It pairs beautifully with light meals, seafood and fresh fruit, and makes a wonderful gift for green tea lovers. Delicate, fragrant and steeped in history, Bi Luo Chun is a true classic of Chinese green tea. |

A little steeping tipStart at 3 min and taste — go up to 3.5 min for a fuller flavour. For a stronger cup, add a little more tea rather than steeping longer.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
