About Bi Luo Chun Tea: Bi Luo Chun, “green and curly leaves of spring” in Chinese, is the second prized green tea only after Long Jing Tea. One of its outstanding characteristic is the fruit aroma, endowed with peach, plum, loquat, and orange that intercropped with it. Another peculiarity is its early cropping. The harvest starts from the Spring Equinox, a Chinese solar term around the beginning of March, when leaf bud is about three quarter inch long. About 68,000 to 74,000 tender leaves are needed to produce one pound high-grade tea, making it one of the most delicate green tea in China. The grade is decided by the size of leaves, the higher the grade, the bigger the leaves. Mt. Dongting is a peninsula stretched into Tai Lake, the third biggest freshwater lake in China. With 1,300 years of tea-cultivation, its porous soil, temperate climate, 1,200 mm annual rainfall, and misty vapor from the lake provides a favorable growing conditions for tea. The legend: For centuries this very famous aromatic light green tea was known by the name Xia Sha Ren Xiang (Astounding Fragrance). A legend explains the reason. Once in the distant past, some maiden tea pickers filled their baskets before they were ready to go home. Wanting to carry more leaves, they stuffed the excess into their tunics. Warmed by body heat, the leaves began to give off a rich aroma. “Astounding fragrance," many pickers said, and the name stuck. Sometime in the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century while on an inspection of his realm, Emperor Kang Xi visited the Lake Taihu area in Zhejiang province and its host presented him with this tea. Striking the Emperor as a tea of purity he asked the name. "Astounding Fragrance" was the host's reply. The Emperor, with disdain, replied that such a name for this treasure was vulgar and an insult. Ordering the unused leaves brought for his examination, the Emperor declared that a more fitting name would be Green Snail Spring because the rolled shape looked like a snail shell. The original name is most popular, however. Peach, apricot and plum trees are planted among the bushes. When these fruit trees bloom, the tender spouts, and buds of tea absorb the aromas to be passed on to those who drink their infusion. The name is now known all over the world, for this is one of China's famous rare teas. Its home is two mountains known as East and West Dongting which poke up out of Taihu, the great lake not far from west of Shanghai, and where the garden city of Suzhou is located. One mountain is an island in the lake and the other is a peninsula. The water evaporating from the lake keeps them overhung with clouds and mist, thus the young leaves stay moist.
