About Biluochun

Why is it called Biluochun?

Biluochun tea has a history of more than 1,000 years. It was first called Dongting洞庭tea by the local folks, and it was also called"Scaring Fragrance"吓煞人香. According to legend, a nun went to the mountains for a spring outing and picked a few tea leaves. After brewing the tea, it smelled so fragrant that she blurted out, "The fragrance is so frightening", so the locals called this tea "Scaring Fragrance". According to the Qing Dynasty chronicle Ye Shi Da Guan, the Kangxi Emperor visited Lake Tai in the 38th year of his rule. At that time, because of its rich aroma, the Kangxi康熙 Emperor decided to give it a more elegant name, "Green Snail Spring".

The name Biluochun literally means "green snail spring". It is called so because it is a green tea that is rolled into a tight spiral, resembling snail meat, and is cropped in early spring.

How is the quality of Biluochun?

It is so delicate and tender that one kilogram of Dong Ting Bi Luo Chun consists of 14,000 to 15,000 tea shoots.Today, Biluochun is cultivated in Dongting Mountains near Lake Tai in Suzhou, Jiangsu.Biluochun from Dong Shan (East Mountain) or Xi Shan (West Mountain) is considered the best. Biluochun is also grown in Zhejiang and Sichuan province. Their leaves are larger and less uniform (may contain yellow leaves). They taste more nutty than fruity and smooth.The tender buds and leaves are rich in amino acids and tea polyphenols. Superior environmental conditions, coupled with high-quality fresh leaf raw materials, provide a material basis for the formation of the quality of Biluochun.

Don't trust the international delivery

I did not even receive my package and the customer service just ghosted me and refused to give me a refund.

Hello customer, we have actively contacted the courier, but the courier reported that it could not be re-delivered because the recipient actively modified the address information, and the courier was unable to contact you by phone. We are deeply sorry for the unpleasant shopping experience.

Good but not great

The tea leaves are small, curled and covered in fine white hairs, resembling snails. When brewed, it produced a light yellow-green liquor with a fragrant aroma. However, the taste of the tea is good but not that great, as compared with the one I had in Suzhou China.
