Biluochun is one of China’s most famous green teas, originating from the scenic Dongting Mountain region near Lake Tai in Jiangsu Province. Its name, meaning “Green Snail Spring,” comes from the tightly curled appearance of the leaves, which resemble small green snail shells. For generations, this tea has been admired for its delicate fragrance and elegant spring character.
The unique environment surrounding Lake Tai plays a significant role in shaping Biluochun’s flavor. Tea gardens are often interplanted with fruit trees, allowing the tea plants to absorb subtle floral and fruity aromas from their surroundings. Harvested during the early spring season, the young leaves are carefully processed to preserve their freshness and natural sweetness.
Biluochun is treasured for its light body, refreshing taste, and remarkable fragrance. Its graceful character makes it a favorite among tea drinkers seeking a refined green tea experience. Each cup reflects the vitality of spring and the long-standing traditions of one of China’s most respected tea-growing regions.
