This aromatic green Bi Luo Chun, also known as Dong Ting Bi Luo Chun (洞庭碧螺春), is a type of green tea grown on Dong Ting Mountain (洞庭山) in Jiangsu Province, China. It’s one of the 10 most famous Chinese teas and a supreme classic in the green tea collection. This brisk tea was reputed to be “one tender three freshes (一嫩三鲜)” in 1982, which perfectly describes how these delicate, tender buds impart an uplifting aroma, a refreshing flavour, and a bright infusion - simply fresh and cheering.

This Bi Luo Chun green tea is packed with natural antioxidants and vitamins yet low in caffeine (unfermented), making it one of the most suitable brews for drinkers of all ages to enjoy anytime, anywhere.
