This special green tea is one of “China’s 10 Most Famous Teas” – consistently appearing in the top of 2 or 3 on the list of most Chinese tea experts. It is a simple tea with surprising complexity. The words Bi Lo Chun translate literally to mean ‘spring snail shell’ – the leaves are rolled into small balls which resemble snail shells. When brewed, this green tea produces a yellow-green colour, the fragrance is described as floral and it has a clean and smooth flavour with a sweet after taste –not as “green’ as most green teas.

I hope your journey into the fascinating world of tea is as rewarding for you as it has been for me. I have lived in Asian countries for almost thirty years-spending twenty five in Thailand, and almost five years in Taiwan. I recently relocated to Australia, where I hope to continue to promote and sell Chinese and herbal teas.
