Chun (meaning Spring) suggests a tea that’s full of youthful vitality. The character for Luo is sometimes refers to the beautiful lacy dress of an ancient Chinese beauty, with the aim of adding even more elegance to this ultra-elegant tea.
The 2012 edition features a rich brew with a satisfying viscosity, striking sweetness, and powerful fresh taste. The infused tea leaves turns light jade green, a trademark of the finest authentic Bi Luo Chun. In the cup, its skillfully hand-crafted, downy leaves unfold to produce a delicate, aromatic, light golden green liquor that opens with a fresh, soft bouquet of spring greens. Bi Luo Chun is noted for its well-rounded sweetness and a lingering, mellow, and slightly buttery finish. A unique, exceptional tea with much in it to discover and appreciate.
