Good Biluochun has a rare balance between the utmost delicacy of aroma and mouthfeel, yet with a surprisingly rich, long-lasting umami. Not unlike a fine sheng puerh, which might explain our love for this green tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen tea lovers encounter a good Biluochun, it is like a window thrown open into Spring. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWe have sourced some excellent Biluochun from the core\u003cstrong\u003e region of Suzhou, on the Dong Shan mountain of Wuzhong district.\u003c\/strong\u003e This specific terroir is comprised of an acidic soil and tea trees intercropped alongside fruit trees (loquat and red bayberries), which results in this tea having powerful fruit and floral aromas. The tea trees themselves are heirloom, small-leaf domestic Zhejiang varietals. Leaves from these heirloom varietal trees tend to be less uniform in appearance (shape and color) but have a unique richness of flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWe have selected two grades of Biluochun to offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrades and Flavor Profile\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur \u003cstrong\u003eSuperior Grade Biluochun\u003c\/strong\u003e is from the earliest pickings and picked to an extremely high precision following the \"one bud one leaf\" standard. This grade of leaf is very fine, small and completely covered in fuzz. The tea has an ethereal floral-fruity fragrance of jasmine, fig leaf, green pears and fresh winter melon. The soup is thickly textured on the tongue and rich with trichomes (tea hairs) turning it misty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur \u003cstrong\u003eFirst Grade Biluochun\u003c\/strong\u003e is also a high-quality picking, approximately 7-10 days later than the Superior Grade. This results in a bud and leaf that are very slightly longer, sometimes with a secondary leaf beginning to unfurl alongside. There is a more distinct aroma of chestnuts and toasted fresh cut grass cuttings, together with a deeper fruit flavor of ripe apple. The soup should also be thick with trichomes (tea hairs) and have a smooth, viscous texture. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eGeographical Information:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7311\/5897\/files\/IMG_2888.jpg?v=1774309490\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eTrue Biluochun is grown on two mountains in the massive Taihu Lake, neighboring the city of Suzhou.
