7T8T Green Snail Spring tea (Bi Luo Chun) Green Tea

7T8T Green Snail Spring tea (Bi Luo Chun) Green Tea

Bi Luo Chun Tea, also known as Green Snail Spring Tea, is a renowned green tea variety hailing from China, particularly esteemed for its delicate aroma, fresh taste, and exquisite appearance. Originating from the picturesque regions of Jiangsu Province, primarily around the Taihu Lake area, this tea is meticulously cultivated under optimal natural conditions, benefiting from the rich soil and pure water of its birthplace.

The name "Bi Luo Chun" itself carries a poetic significance: "Bi Luo" translates to "green spiral," referencing the tightly coiled shape of the tea leaves resembling a spiral shell, while "Chun" signifies "spring," highlighting its harvest during the early spring season when the tea leaves are the freshest and most tender.

Harvesting Bi Luo Chun is a labor-intensive process, often involving hand-picking only the youngest, two-leaf-and-a-bud sets to ensure the highest quality. After careful selection, the leaves undergo a series of traditional processing steps including withering, rolling, fixing, and drying, each meticulously controlled to preserve the tea's distinctive characteristics.

When brewed, Bi Luo Chun unfurls into a lush green hue, releasing a fragrant, floral aroma with subtle notes of fruit and freshness. The taste is smooth and slightly sweet, leaving a lingering aftertaste that is both refreshing and satisfying. Its light, non-astringent flavor makes it an ideal choice for tea enthusiasts seeking a delicate yet flavorful green tea experience.

Beyond its gustatory pleasures, Bi Luo Chun Tea is also valued for its potential health benefits, attributed to its rich content of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Regular consumption is believed to promote cardiovascular health, aid in digestion, and enhance overall well-being.
The Quick Way - 5 Easy Steps
Step 1
Rinse a teapot, small teacups and a small pitcher with hot water.
Step 2
Put one tablespoon of tea leaves in the teapot for every two people being served. Use more for large leaf tea or for a stronger taste.
Step 3
Place the tea leaves inside the teapot and pour in enough hot water to cover the leaves. Pour out the water immediately to rinse the leaves. Use to this chart for proper water temperatures.

    IMPORTANT NOTES: 
    • Too much or too little heat for the tea you are making will break down the leaves too quickly or too slowly and the flavour will be inconsistent.  Temperatures can be approximate.
    • *Boiling means when the water has just reached a slow boil with big bubbles. The Chinese call this “Fish-Eye Water”. For green tea, watch for small streams of tiny bubbles starting to rise from the bottom of the kettle. This is called “Crab-Eye Water”. 
    • For Oolong teas, the correct temperature is somewhere between these two. If you do not have a thermometer, let the water stand for 2 minutes or so after reaching a first boil to get 90 – 95C C / 194 – 203 F. 

    Step 4
    Empty the teacups and pitcher. Pour enough hot water into the teapot again to cover the leaves. Wait 8 - 10 seconds and pour the tea into the pitcher and serve, a little longer for a stronger taste. For additional brews, repeat Step 4, deducting two seconds for the second brew and adding two seconds for each additional brew.
    Step 5
    As the aromatic compounds in the tea leaves dissolve in the water, you will notice the subtle flavours of the tea begin to change with each brew. You will be amazed at the difference! To make tea taste even better, try making tea using Gong Fu Cha method, the traditional Chinese art of tea-making.
     
    The Traditional Way Using The Gong Fu Cha Method
    You will need:
    • Teapot - preferably a small Chinese Yixing teapot. These have the best heat handling properties for tea-making, as well as for developing the flavour. If you only have a large teapot, use the quantities of water as if a small teapot and tea shown on the charts.
    • Small teacups (similar in size to Japanese sake cups) or tiny bowls
    • Kettle
    • Pitcher - small glass or porcelain
    • Fine Strainer - to keep your tea clear and free of sediment
    • Tea Tray - A cookie sheet or large flat dish lined with a towel can make a good tray to prepare your tea on. 
    Step 1 - Warm The Teapot and Pitcher, Sterilize The Teacups and Strainer
    The first step is to use the right size of teapot for the number of people you are serving. Most teas taste best when made using a Yixing unglazed clay teapot.  Use this chart for the correct size of teapot for the number of people you are serving (use this amount of water if you are using a larger teapot). Pour some hot water into the teapot, pitcher, teacups and over the strainer to rinse, warm and sterilize them.

    Referring to this chart, determine the correct water temperature for the type of tea you are making. Too much or too little heat will break down the leaves too quickly or too slowly and the flavour will be inconsistent. Temperatures can be approximate.

    * Boiling means when the water has just reached a slow boil with big bubbles . The Chinese call this “Fish-Eye Water”.  For green tea, watch for small streams of tiny bubbles starting to rise from the bottom of the kettle. This is called “Crab-Eye Water”. 
    For Oolong teas, the correct temperature is somewhere between these two. If you do not have a thermometer, let the water stand for 2 minutes or so after reaching a first boil to get 90 – 97C C / 194 – 206 F. 
    Step 2 – Rinse The Tea Laves
    Empty the teapot and pitcher of the warming water. Place the measured amount of tea into the teapot using this chart and fill with the proper temperature water from the chart above. When pouring water in, allow the water to overflow the top of the teapot until the bubbles disappear and the water runs clear.

    This chart shows the amount of tea to use (in number of tablespoons) based on the size of the tea leaves you are using and the size of teapot. Adjust for personal taste.
    Replace the lid and immediately pour off all the water (or a bit longer if using compressed tea) and shake out the last drops. Then tilt the lid slightly open on the teapot. This allows the heat in the teapot to escape and not “cook” the leaves so they can retain their aroma 
    Step 3 –The First Brew
    Fill the teapot until the water flows over the top. Place the lid on the teapot and count the proper number of seconds using this chart. Adjust times to taste.

    Fifth Brew 
    6– 12 seconds 
    8– 8 seconds 
    8– 10 seconds 
    10– 12 seconds 
     
    If you have a tea tray, slowly pour a little hot water over the teapot for a few seconds while counting.  At the end of the count, pour the tea into the pitcher and tilt the lid open on the teapot. Empty the teacups of the warming water and serve the tea. 
    Step 4 – Additional Brews
    For the second brew, repeat Step 3 until there is no more flavour from the leaves. High quality tea will make many good tasting brews. The taste of low quality tea will start to fade after only a few brews. Believe it or not, high quality tea is usually less expensive to use in the long run than low quality tea, it tastes better and lasts longer!
    If the leaves still have some flavour remaining when you finish, you can keep them in the teapot with the lid closed for up to 12 hours. When you're ready to make more tea, just pick up the timing for the next brew where you left off, less a few seconds.
