Dong Ting Bi Luo Chun (\u6d1e\u5ead\u78a7\u87ba\u6625) is a light green tea from the famous Dong Ting Mountain tea growing area of Jiangsu Province. The name of this tea translates as \u2018Green Snail Spring\u2019 and refers to the colour, the shape and the plucking time for this tea. Classic Bi Luo Chun originates from Dong Ting Mountain area next to Lake Taihu<\/a> in Jiangsu Province, China and this region still produces some of the best Bi Luo Chun tea. This particular tea is from early April (around 4-6 days after Qing Ming) 2022 harvest.<\/p>\n

Bi Luo Chun is one of China\u2019s 10 famous teas and is regarded by some as one of the best green teas from China. This particular type from Dong Ting is particularly renowned for having a more tippy, uniform appearance of the tea leaves and for having a fresher, cleaner taste with floral and fruity notes.<\/p>\n

The original name for this tea was Xia Sha Ren Xiang, which can be translated as \u2018Astounding Fragrance\u2019 or \u2018Scary Fragrance\u2019. The legend tells the story of a girl, who discovered this tea. Whilst plucking the tea leaves, she ran out of space in her basket, so she put the tea leaves between her breasts instead. The tea, which got warmed by her body heat produced a strong fragrance, which greatly surprised the girl, hence the name Astounding (or Scary) Fragrance. The Astounding or Scary Fragrance name stuck well due to the wonderful aroma that is characteristic of this tea. This name was changed later by one of the Chinese emperors, who thought that a more elegant Bi Luo Chun or \u2018Green Snail Spring\u2019 is a more fitting description for this special tea.<\/p>\n

The green and silver tippy leaves of this Dong Ting Bi Luo Chun green tea have a distinctive twisted shape, resembling a small snail. The dry leaves have a characteristic strong yet pleasant aroma. The liquor is pale and very delicate with a floral and vegetal fragrance. This tea has a refreshing taste with a lovely light profile. There is a delicate vegetal and floral taste that has notes of green vegetables and flowers, such as courgettes and dandelions. This tea has a delicate sweetness to it that gives way to a slightly savoury aftertaste.<\/p>\n

We suggest brewing at 80\u00b0C for 2-3 minutes according to your taste. It can be brewed around 2-3 times depending on your preference.<\/p>\n
