Bi Luo Chun Green Tea – The Elegance of Spring from Dongting Mountain

Introduction: From Legend to Teacup

Among the vast universe of Chinese teas, Bi Luo Chun Green Tea (碧螺春) stands out as one of the most celebrated. Ranked among the Top 10 Famous Chinese Teas, it is renowned for its refined flavor, enchanting aroma, and centuries-old heritage. For true tea connoisseurs, experiencing Bi Luo Chun is considered an essential journey.

Drinking Bi Luo Chun is more than tasting tea — it is immersing oneself in the artistry of nature and culture, carefully passed down from generation to generation on the misty hills of Dongting Mountain. Each sip is a living connection to history, craftsmanship, and the spirit of springtime.

History and Legend of Bi Luo Chun

The origin of Bi Luo Chun traces back to the scenic Dongting Mountain in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. This fertile land, blessed with mild climate and mineral-rich soil, has long been praised as one of the best regions for cultivating premium green tea.

The name Bi Luo Chun, meaning “Spring Green Snail”, comes from the tea’s distinctive appearance: delicate leaves rolled into fine spirals resembling tiny snail shells, harvested only in early spring when the buds are at their freshest.

Legends say the tea’s fragrance was so intense that locals once called it “Scary Fragrance” (嚇煞人香), until Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty bestowed the elegant name Bi Luo Chun, which has been treasured ever since.

Another unique aspect is its environment — tea bushes often grow intermingled with fruit trees such as peach, plum, and citrus, allowing the leaves to naturally absorb subtle floral and fruity aromas from their surroundings.

Distinctive Characteristics of Bi Luo Chun

What makes Bi Luo Chun extraordinary and beloved among tea enthusiasts includes:

• Exquisite appearance – Fine, downy buds curled into delicate spirals, almost like tiny works of art.
• Complex aroma – A harmonious bouquet of floral freshness mingled with fruity notes, shaped by its unique growing environment.
• Refined taste – The liquor shines with a clear greenish-golden hue, offering a smooth, mellow flavor with a lingering sweet aftertaste (Hui Gan 回甘).
• Seasonal expression – Known as the “Tea of Spring,” Bi Luo Chun embodies vitality, freshness, and the renewal of nature.

The Art of Cultivation and Harvesting

Bi Luo Chun’s rarity and value lie in its meticulous cultivation and artisanal processing. The leaves are hand-plucked during late March to early April, selecting only the tender bud and the first one or two leaves.

Harvesting is performed entirely by hand, requiring both skill and patience. The leaves are then pan-fired and gently hand-rolled in small batches, following traditional techniques that preserve their freshness, aroma, and delicate form. This labor-intensive process ensures that every cup of Bi Luo Chun reflects the artistry and dedication of generations of tea masters.
