Bi Luo Chun

Bi Luo Chun – Famous "Green Snail Spring" Chinese Green Tea

Bi 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.
