Country of Origin: China Manufacture Type: Steamed green tea
Grade: Hand rolled Infusion: Pale green
Cup Characteristics: Full delicate green tea flavor with a very smooth finish.
Information: Bi Luo Chun is regarded as one of the best green tea China offers. Bi Luo Chun literally means “green snail spring”. It is called “green snail spring” because it is a green tea that is hand rolled into a tight spiral, resembling snail meat, and is plucked and produced early spring. The annual productions span of the Bi Luo Chun is very short. It is picked between the Spring Equinox (end of March) and Qing Ming (early April). Our 'Choral Bi Luo Chun' tea is made from the finest tender buds, gathered and processed exclusively by hand.
The name Bi Luo Chun is said to be given by Emperor KangXi, one of the most revered Chinese Emperors. According to the Qing Dynasty chronicle Ye Shi Da Guan, Emperor Kangxi visited TaiHu in the 38th year of his rule. The Emperor was served with a tea which local people called “Astonishing Fragrant Green Tea”. KangXi loved the tea so much and decided to give it a more poetic name Bi Luo Chun. Since then Bi Luo Chun was on the list of the royal supplies and had been enjoyed almost exclusivly by the royal family of the Chinese Empire.
Hot tea brewing method: When preparing by the cup, this tea can be used repeatedly - about 3 times. The secret is to use water that is about 180’F or 80’C. Place 1 teaspoon of Bi Luo Chun in your cup, let the tea steep for about 2 minutes and then begin enjoying a cup of enchantment - do not remove the leaves from the cup. Once the water level is low - add more water, and so on and so on - until the flavor of the tea is exhausted.
