• Item No. G11670-1 Bi Luo Chun (Green Snail Spring)
• Bi Luo Chun, (Green Snail Spring) is the most favorite tea for Emperor Kang Xi in Qing Dynasty in China. It defines a spring bud tea of considerable renown. This tea comes from the most beautiful and heavenly garden city—Suzhou, Jiangsu province in China. The dried leaves appear to be sliver-white and green small snails, where those tiny hair-covered spirals contain only the unopened bud and one leaf. The brew process is different from most other teas by dropping the baby tea leaves into hot water but well below boiling. This tea produces a slightly fruity and clear liquor.  The flavors are incredibly rich and the sweetness aftertaste lingers for a few minutes. Click here for the story…
• Moreover, in early morning, emerald green is the color of the Eastern peaks of the Dongting mountains. Choosing the word ‘Spring’ is because its harvest season is in the Spring. The word ‘Spiral’ refers that the shape of the tea likes a tiny hair-covered spiral. Its leaf size is around 1/2 – 1 inch long, hence one pound contains about 60,000 – 70,000 buds. The tea bushes are normally planted crosswise with loquat trees, from whence Bi Luo Chun Green Tea gets its unique fruit flavor.
