Green Tea: Bi Luo Chun
Last Updated: Mar. 15, 2010
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.
