Detailed Product Description

Bi Luo Chun (Bi Luo Chun, Bi Lu Chun), grows from Dongting lake in Suzhou Province. In Chinese it means “Spring Green Snail”. Also it is well known as "Spiral of Spring Jade" or " Green Snail Spring". It is one of Chinese rare green teas of exceptional quality known all over the world.

Since its shape likes snail and is collected in spring, it is then named as “spring snail tea”. The shapes of each buds of Bi Luo Chun tea should be even and curl as snail. Its fine silver feather can be seen all over the leaf. When steeping in a glass cup, the tea leaves extend like rolling, creating a wonder picture for its drinkers. The color of spring snail tea soup is crystal light green with refreshing smell. Its rich and mellow in taste is smooth and long-lasting.

The leaf of Pi lo Chun is tiny and comes out spiral shaped; the brew is clear and golden and of exceeding delicacy. In the cup its skillfully hand-crafted, downy leaves unfold to produce a delicate, aromatic, light golden liquor which opens with a fresh, crisp astringency and develops into a well-rounded sweetness with a lingering, mellow, slightly buttery, finish.

Preparation: (How to make Bi Luo Chun Tea)
We recommend a covered steeping cup. Preheat the cup with hot water and fill with 1-2 teaspoons of leaf. Cover with relatively cool water, 55-65C, 131-149F and infuse for 2 or 3 minutes. To serve, pour into a pitcher or directly into warmed tasting cups and enjoy. Bi Luo Chun may be re-infused several times by gradually increasing steeping time and water temperature.
