Bi Luo Chun Green Tea

Description Tasting Notes Origin Brewing Guide Flavor: ​ Fresh baby greens aroma. Balanced, delicate notes of snow peas and mung beans.  Clean, crisp finish. Garden: Taiwanese Bi Luo Chun Green Tea is only produced in the Sanxia (Three Gorges) District, on the south side of New Taipei City. Sanxia is the only region in Taiwan that has maintained the pre-modern system of tea farmers selling their fresh produce to centralized tea factories. Dozens of farms supply only a few factories. This is a relatively sustainable arrangement that dates back to the Qing Dynasty. Another sustainable and safe farming practice in Bi Luo Chun Green Tea production is that no pesticides are used throughout the entire growing season. This is because very young, tender leaves are picked every 7-14 days for making this type of tea, so the harvest is basically ongoing. The only time pesticides are used at all on these farms is when the trees are pruned, which typically in once every 2-3 years. Harvest: Ha
