ORIGIN
This single-estate tea comes from one of our farming friends in Ping Ling, Taiwan. They are a Buddhist charity that promotes organic farming in the region and sells their tea. Aunt Tong, a family member of our co-founder, volunteers at this farm to harvest and help make tea in her retirement.
Bi Lou Chun, means ‘green snail spring,’ which refers to the long, green coils that can be found in the tea. The process of making this type of tea was brought over to Taiwan from mainland China in 1949.
CULTIVATION AND PROCESSING
This Bi Lou Chun is a spring tea made from 1 leaf and 1 bud using the varietal called Chin Shin Gan Zi. This green tea was not commonly found in Taiwan prior to the 1990s but was revived with the production of the varietal.
