Embrace the elegance of one of China’s most celebrated teas with Bi Luo Chun, also known as “Jade Snail” Green Tea. Hailing from the misty hills of Jiangsu Province, this exquisite spring harvest from April is among the Top Ten Famous Chinese Teas, renowned for its delicate craftsmanship, vibrant aroma, and exceptional freshness.

The name Bi Luo Chun translates to “Green Snail Spring”, a reference to the tea’s tightly rolled spiral shape resembling tiny snail shells that reflects both its visual beauty and refined character, and its exclusive spring harvest period.

What sets Bi Luo Chun apart is its meticulous handcrafted processing. After harvest, the young, tender tea leaves are carefully pan-fired in large woks-a traditional Chinese technique that halts oxidation while preserving natural flavors. In the hands of a skilled tea master, the leaves are repeatedly rolled across the hot pan into delicate spirals, creating the tea’s iconic snail-like shape.

This ancient method not only defines the appearance of the tea but also concentrates its aromatic oils, resulting in a brew with a deeply fresh, floral fragrance and a complex, grassy-sweet profile with hints of wildflowers and steamed greens.

Bi Luo Chun is prized for its intensely fragrant bouquet-a bold mix of fresh-cut grass, spring flowers, and subtle vegetal sweetness with lingering freshness. While it is unmistakably a Chinese green tea, its vibrant, crisp and clean flavor and umami-rich character can sometimes evoke the spirit of Japanese green teas.

Its exceptional balance of body and fragrance, combined with its handmade quality, makes Bi Luo Chun one of the most distinctive and desirable green teas for springtime drinking.

Brewing Recommendations: To fully appreciate the complexity and freshness of Bi Luo Chun, we recommend brewing it gently to avoid overpowering the tender leaves. Due to its fine, delicate leaves, it’s best brewed in a glass vessel or Gaiwan to visually enjoy the unfolding spirals.

Our Bi Luo Chun is not only hand-harvested and artisan-crafted, but also offers an outstanding quality. Its premium production and meticulous shaping-entirely by hand-place it among the finest Chinese green teas of the season, yet it remains accessible for everyday indulgence.

Whether you’re a seasoned tea connoisseur or new to Chinese green teas, Bi Luo Chun Jade Snail is a must-try for anyone seeking a cup that combines tradition, complexity, and springtime vitality.

Carefully selected and imported, enjoy this iconic Chinese tea at its seasonal best-an embodiment of handcrafted excellence, floral elegance, and natural energy.
