8 Tasting Notes View all

“Dry leaf smells intensely umami, sweet and nutty, almost savoury. Steeped, golden liquor has delicate honey taste with a bit of vegetal on the finish.” Read full tasting note

Description

While most Bi Luo Chun is grown in Jiangsu Province, China, this unique cultivar grown in Taiwan has bigger leaves and is picked slightly earlier in the year. As a non-fermented green tea, it is rich in antioxidants and other natural chemicals that promote various health benefits, including reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Bi Luo Chun is sweet and fruity in flavor, with notes of peach and a mildly vegetal aftertaste. Avoid steeping too long or in water that is too hot for the best taste and health benefits. We recommend brewing with multiple short infusions of about 30 to 40 seconds.
