Bi Luo Chun is one of the most famous Chinese teas. In english, bi luo chun translates to “green snail spring“; its curled, fresh green and light grey leaves are picked in the early spring, and its shape is reminiscent of a snail shell. Its soft and buttery texture is complemented by a light, vegetal and toasty palate.
