Description:
A really rare specialty: an original Dong Ting Bi Luo Chun processed traditionally, wok by wok, a hundred percent handicraft, a tea of incomparably high quality. Different from the usual processing methods nowadays, less leaf material is processed at a time and the tea masters take more time for each step of the processing. The time needed is given to each step and that is why the production of this tea takes longer. The finished tea is then packed wok by wok - usually, the produced amount of tea of a whole day or even several days is mixed in order to attain a certain amount and to balance differences and little defects.

The plucked leaves come from different tea gardens on Dongshan peninsula, South-West of Suzhou, where tea bushes grow amidst fruit trees and other plants. The original cultivation site of Bi Luo Chun is called Dongting, which consists in the two peninsulae of Dongshan and Xishan.
Character:
Tenderly buttery and flatteringly oily in taste. Full in mouth and spicy in taste, changing into an irresistible, subtle whiff of ripe, juicy and invitingly tasty fruit.

Description:
A very beautiful green tea with the big, twisted leaf, typical for Taiwanese Bi Luo Chun (formerly known as Pi Lo Chun).

Taiwan Biluochun is being increasingly produced since the 1960s. The name refers to the Biluochun from Suzhou, China, as it is the model for this tea.

But contrary to the Chinese Bi Luo Chun, this tea is made from an Oolong-tea variety, which has much larger leaves. Taiwan Bi Luo Chun have an appearance similar to Bao Zhong, the open-leaved green Oolong from Taiwan. This tea is lacking the strong and full bodied taste of its Chinese counterpart, and it is very soft, sweet and shows little bitterness.
Character:
Very pleasurable soft, sweet, fruity and delicate tea.
