Due to the special cultivars, climate, and quality of the tea leaves, this type of tea is rich in amino acids, vitamins, and microelements. The highest quality green teas are made from spring young buds and leaves, traditionally processed to prevent oxidation and to keep the tea leaf in its original chemical composition. Green tea regulates body temperature and is very good in the summertime.
During the research over the past few decades, it has been discovered that green tea reduces the risk of heart disease, cleans the circulatory system, strengthens blood vessels, reduces blood pressure, lowers blood sugar, prevents the development of cancer cells, and relieves nervous tension.

"GREEN SPRING SNAIL"
ORIGIN
The birthplace and main place of production of Bi Luo Chun is the town of Dongting in the Dongting Mountains, on the shores of the famous Lake Taihu in Jiangsu Province. This place is a truly unique and amazing tea-growing region and has a very specific microclimate, which is ideal for growing tea. As the locals say, the Dongting Mountains are “warm but not hot, humid but not damp.” Nowadays there are many Bi Luo Chun made in different places and even in different provinces but Dongting Bi Luo Chun has a subtle fruity aroma that makes it most delicate and special. Plantations of the world-famous variety are located in fruit plum, apricot, tangerine, and peach groves. Local tea growers believe that tea bushes enter into a kind of symbiosis with fruit plants.
High-grade Bi Luo Chun is made from early spring "one bud and the first opened leaf". These spring buds contain vitamins and amino acids which give the aroma of tea that very grace and elegance.
ORGANOLEPTIC
The taste of this tea is amazing! Lightness, tenderness, charm. These three components sparkle in it in equal proportions. In addition, it is sweet and without astringency in taste. A bright yellow and slightly greenish infusion. The aroma has flowers and fruits, grass, and honey.
