Description

The name Bi Luo Chun is related to its main features: “Bi” — rich green color, “Luo” — the form of a curled tea leaf resembling a snail, and “Chun” is early spring, the season of harvesting this tea. This tender and surprisingly refreshing and aromatic tea is grown in the mountain area of Dun Tin in the east of China, where tea plantations are mixed with fruit gardens. Taller fruit trees protect the tea plants from summer heat and winter cold but they also imbibe the tea leaves with a unique aroma — the white fur on the leaves absorbs bright scents of the blooming fruit trees. A short and reduced processing preserves the maximum of healthy elements, of which the tea leaf has an abundance. The leaves are manually twisted into spirals. Bi Luo Chun is in the “golden three” of the best green teas in China together with Longjing and Mao Feng.

Bi Luo Chun is a refreshing and energizing green tea, that enhances mental and physical working capacity. It is rich in amino acids and polyphenol compounds, contributing to general health, and antioxidants, vitamins, and microelements.

The tender emerald brew has a flower and honey aroma and a fresh, slightly fruit flavor with melon notes in the aftertaste. Brewing Bi Luo Chun is a beautiful process, which is why we recommend using transparent teaware. The secret is that the water is not poured onto the tea, but the leaves are put into the water. First, the tea leaves will drop to the bottom but soon they will unwrap and a “dance of snowflakes” will begin — tea leaves will take a vertical position and start to go up and down. This inspiring view will turn a plain tea party into an exquisite ceremony.


HOW TO BREW BI LO CHUN GREEN TEA

Brew 2 tea spoons per 200 ml filtered water that was boiled and cooled to 80°. Cover with a lid, strain after 2-3 minutes and serve. You can brew the leaves a second and a third time, adding a minute or two to the brewing time 


Pick teaware

—  For more delicate types of tea, like white or green, glass or porcelain teapots are better while for oolongs, black teas and puerhs clay teapots are preferred
