Bi Luo Chun aka Jade Green Snail Spring is a really famous Chinese tea often cited alongside Long Jing as one of the greatest Greens in China.

Top grade Bi Luo Chun commands a high price but it has such a snob value that even medium quality tea is quite expensive.

The problem with Bi Luo Chun is that it is a very fussy tea. Everything from the terroirs, to the picking, to the processing has to be perfect otherwise Bi Luo Chun can fall very quickly from its lofty heights and become an overpriced tea without much character.

Most teas are a lot more forgiving than Bi Luo Chun and that makes finding the perfect batch such a mission for us at Mei Leaf.
