A sweet, delicate & delightfully floral Pre-Qingming specialty.
The famous Pi Lo Chun (aka BiLuochun) is elevated as one of the top ten teas in China. Named by an emperor, its enduring thousand year-old history reflects its unique nature. Tea bushes in the Jiangsu province grow next to fruit trees and absorb sweet aromas. In early spring, the downy leaves are plucked by hand and pan-fired over charcoal.
Steeping requires skill—a delicate leaf added to water unfurls, floats and spirals to the bottom transformed as the Pi Lo Chun shape, which means “Green Spring Snail.” Teas harvested before the Qingming festival in springtime are prized as the youngest and highest quality of the year’s crop. Pi Lo Chun gracefully carries the honor of being picked pre-Qingming.
