Descriptions:
Competition Bi Luo Chun (4 oz.):
Silk Road Teas' Competition Bi Luo Chun (Green Snail Spring) captures the essence of China's spring teas unlike any other and is made from the earliest harvest when the leaves are tender and most interesting in taste. The leaves are a rich mix of mostly white bud and jade-color leaf that offers a subtly sweet liquor and captures a precious moment of spring. Once steeped, the leaves show their delicate, snail-like shape. This tea will cup to a wonderful fruity aroma and clean flavor.
Golden Bi Luo (70 grams):
This rare golden black tea from Yunnan, China is made in the style of the famous green tea called Bi Luo Chun (from Jiangsu province in China), but with a local Yunnan varietal which is reminiscent of a high grade Yunnan Gold.
