Pre-Qingming Bi Luo Chun

Originating from the Dongting mountains in Jiangsu province, this renowned Chinese green tea boasts an auspicious history as a tribute tea to the imperial court. Named for its unique appearance, Bi Luo Chun — meaning "Green Snail Spring" — is expertly crafted into tight spiral curls, which are covered in silver-white tea down (hao mao). The pale yellow infusion of this 2025 early spring, Pre-Qingming selection is fresh and fragrant, offering sugarcane-sweet vegetal notes complemented by toasty hints of chestnut. A full, silky mouthfeel sets the stage for the delicate vegetal flavor, enriched by a honeyed sweetness and subtle whispers of melon. The smooth finish lingers with a refreshing, crisp clarity.
