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.

Customer Reviews
Mao Feng and Dragon Well are my favourite Chinese green teas.
The China Teapot Mao Feng is of very good quality.
Pure pleasure to drink it on a hot day.
I am hopelessly western style tea lover, so I use double walled glasses and a good size tea strainer.
8g, 3 min 1st cup and 4 min 2nd cup.
Where I deviated from The China Teapot's suggestion is water temperature. I always steep Chinese green tea at 75°C.
As a bonus, it is the spotless The China Teapot's service. Very well packed and sent on time. From now on it is my favourite Chinese tea online retailer.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing our Huangshan Maofeng (Pre-Rain) tea. We are thrilled to hear that we have become your favourite supplier of Chinese green teas.
Nice and refreshing
I loved this green tea. Tastes so much better than the green tea you buy from shops. With every sip you know you're drinking something really pure and healthy.
