Early Spring Bi Luo Chun Green Tea

Capture the freshness of spring with TimeBai Early Spring Bi Luo Chun, one of China’s most celebrated green teas. Historically known as “Xia Sha Ren Xiang,” often translated as “Scary Fragrance,” Bi Luo Chun has long been admired for its distinctive natural aroma.

Harvested in early spring, this tea features tender young buds and leaves covered in fine silvery down. Traditional pan-firing, rolling and shaping transform the leaves into tight, snail-like curls—the signature appearance reflected in its name, “Green Snail Spring.”

Bi Luo Chun’s heritage is rooted in the Dongting hills of Jiangsu, where tea bushes traditionally grow among fruit trees. This tea-and-fruit growing landscape is a distinctive part of its regional story, complementing the fresh, delicate character for which the tea is treasured.

As the leaves unfurl, fresh green aromas mingle with sweet chestnut and subtle floral notes. Smooth and lively on the palate, the tea balances a gently savory freshness with mellow sweetness and a clean, lingering finish.

Presented in a 90 g (3.17 oz) tin, this loose leaf green tea is a refreshing choice for everyday enjoyment, a quiet tea session or an afternoon cup alongside a light pastry.
