Bi Luo Chun, sometimes written
Pi Lo Chun, and meaning
Green Snail Spring, is a popular and ancient[1]
green tea from
China. The name originates from the fact that it is a green tea made from leaves picked in spring, and the leaves are rolled into a spiral shape resembling a snail.
It originated in
Jiangsu province, on Dongting island in Tai lake[1], but teas bearing this name are also grown elsewhere. Some retailers claim that teas produced outside of Jiangsu province and labeled as Bi Luo Chun are "fake" teas.
