Information about the Origin of Bi Luo Chun

Bi Luo Chun is produced around the Tai Lake region, centered on Dongting Shan (Dongting Mountain) in Jiangsu Province. This area is blessed with a warm and humid climate and fertile soil, which is ideal for cultivating tea trees. Dongting Mountain is divided into East Dongting Mountain and West Dongting Mountain, with tea from East Dongting Mountain being particularly renowned for its high quality. East Dongting Mountain is also called "Huaguo Shan," which means "Flower-Fruit Mountain" in English. This name reflects the region's fame for its abundant fruit production, including bayberry. Our Bi Luo Chun comes from East Dongting Mountain.

The Superiority of East Dongting Mountain

The climate of East Dongting Mountain is warm and humid, with frequent fog during early spring that imparts a unique fragrance and flavor to the tea leaves. East Dongting Mountain is particularly prone to fog, which shields the tea plants from excessive sunlight during the day while allowing the ground to cool rapidly at night, enhancing the temperature difference. This temperature variation contributes positively to the quality of crops, including tea leaves. Additionally, the soil of East Dongting Mountain is rich in iron, which is believed to enhance the tea's lingering aftertaste. Village houses at the foot of a green mountain

Long-Lasting Aftertaste from Fertilizer-Free Cultivation

The tea leaves of Bi Luo Chun are harvested in early spring when young buds begin to sprout. This tea is characterized by its curled shape and fine white hairs, with leaves that are green, slender, and spiral-shaped, giving it the name "Bi Luo Chun" (Green Spiral Spring). It has a sweet floral flavor and a refreshing flavor with hints of citrus-like fruitiness.

Fertilizer-free cultivation allows the tea leaves to grow slowly, resulting in dense cells that provide a rich, lingering aftertaste for you to enjoy. Steeped green tea leaves in a white bowl

Production Process

The production process of Bi Luo Chun is highly delicate. Freshly hand-plucked tea leaves are carefully hand-rolled and then dried at a low temperature of 60–70°C. This process creates the distinctive aroma and flavor of Bi Luo Chun. Especially, Bi Luo Chun produced in East Dongting Mountain is highly regarded for its quality and flavor, making it beloved by many tea enthusiasts.   If you wish to purchase Bi Luo Chun, please visit the following link.
