Our 2019 Tai Lake Pi Luo Chun, or Bi Luo Chun, consists of young, short, curly leaves with many gorgeous fuzzy buds. It has a dry, sweet aroma of lily and pear. When brewed, the resulting liquor is a pale yellow with light and crisp floral notes, and hints of sweet pea flowers. There is a faint sweet nut note in the finish as well as a lingering apricot.
This tea contains a moderate level of caffeine | Steep at 170° for 3 minutes.

“ This tea smelled wonderful in the bag. The floral taste is definitely much more mild than the scent, I was hoping for a bit more. Quite an enjoyable cup. My tea kettle has 180F and 160F as options so I tried 180 but gave a few minutes for it to cool closer to 170. I might try 160 next time or use an old fashioned thermometer to brew at 170 and see how that changes the flavor. ”(3 mins @ 180°F)

“ This tea is the green tea for people who don't like green teas. It has a light floral note to it that is more subtle in the taste, than scent. There is no grass in essence or astringency, just a slightly sweet cup of minerally goodness. I need to buy more! ”
One of the ten famous Chinese teas, Pi Luo Chun originates in the Dongting Mountains near Tai Lake. Know for its exquisite taste, floral aroma and fuzzy white hairs, Pi Luo Chun translates to "green snail spring", and is so named due to its tightly rolled leaves which resemble a snail's shell and are harvested in early spring.
