Bi Luo Chun is renowned for its so-called scary fragrance, which traces back its growing environment. There are many peach trees, plum, loquat, guava, almond and some other fruit tea trees, so that is why Bi Luo Chun is famous for its fruity taste and aroma.

There are two mountains in the Tai Lake, which is situated in two different directions, east and west. Thereby, it is called Dongshan(east mountain) and Xi mountain(West mountain). Both mountains are famous for its tribute tea Bi Luo Chun(green snail spring literally)。

Our Bi Luo Chun is harvested before pre-qingming period in the West mountain. It is from Bingchang village, where it belongs to the protection zone center of Bi Luo Chun green tea and used to be the only area to provide tribut Bi Luo Chun to Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty; Directly purchase from the tea farmers. Super high floral aroma, fruity taste and aftersweetness. A good tea to drink in the morning after breadfast or afternoon to refresh yourself.

FYI, it requires around 60,000 to 80,000 pcs of buds to make 500g of Bi Luo Chun green tea. All the tea is hand-picked and really takes the pickers around half day to get such big amount of fresh leaves. So cherish each piece of this previous tea.
