Biluochun
This Biluochun-style tea from Changxing, also known as Luo Xing, is a good representative of the type: tightly curled leaves release a brothy, vegetal infusion, just barely suggestive of smoke. A very accessible and rewardingly flavourful introduction to fine Chinese greens, with a body of cooked green peas and top notes of tropical fruit.
For a next-level and unusual experience, try our White Biluochun, made with a cultivar normally used for Anji Bai Cha.

Preparation
IN THE TEAPOT

- Infusion time: 2-3 min
GONGFU CHA METHOD
- Quantity: 2g / 150ml
- Water temperature: 80°C

For best results in gongfu cha, brew in a tall glass and fill with water before adding the leaves. Too high water temperature would burn the leaves, resulting in bitter taste.
