Bi Luo Chun, 'green and curly leaves of spring' in Chinese, is the second prized green tea only after Dragon Well. One of its outstanding quality is its fruit aroma, endowed with peach, plum, loquat, and orange that intercropped with it.
Another peculiarity is its early cropping. The harvest starts from the Spring Equinox, a Chinese solar term around the beginning of March, when leaf bud is about three quarter inch long. It would need 68,000 - 74,000 tender leaves to produce one pound high-grade tea, making it one of most delicate green tea in China. The grade is decided by the size of leaves, higher the grade number bigger the leaves.
Mt. Dongting is a peninsula stretched into Tai Lake, the third biggest freshwater lake in China. With 1,300 years of tea-cultivation, its porous soil, temperate climate, 1,200 mm annual rainfall, and misty vapor from the lake provides an favorable growing conditions for tea.
Chinese Green tea is light and refreshing. Well known for its many health benefits, Chinese Green tea helps to prevent cancer, lowers cholesterol & blood pressure, strengthens the immune system, prevents cavities, reduces stress and regulates ageing.
This tea has an interesting name (translates to Spring Snail Shell) due to the shape of its processed tea leaf, which are tightly rolled in spiral shape, resembles tiny shell of a snail. Bi Luo Chun is simple to brew and its refreshing and clean taste make it a popular everday Green tea.
