Bi Luo Chun

“Green Snail Springtime” – Very fine green tea that needs to be picked in early spring, as soon as the first tender leaves appear, as the contents of amino acids and tea phenols is highest. The tea must be processed on the same day as it was picked. And the whole process (picking, drying and rolling) must be completed by night.

Bi Luo Chun has seven different classes of quality – the lower the class, the larger the leaves and vice versa. For higher grades, the drying temperature used is lower and the leaf handling more careful. The aroma of dry tea is indescribable, almost honey like, the leaves are twisted into miniature, richly haired spirals. The infusion has a slightly emerald color with a full, yet very fresh taste.
