For those familiar with Taiwanese Green teas, this would be considered the classic green tea of Taiwan. Its history and popularity is linked to the western export trading houses that were looking to propose Chinese-style teas sourced from accessible areas around Taipei back in the days where dealing with the mainland was more problematic due to the Sino-Japanese wars, civil war and the ensuing establishment of the PRC. Even if historically this Bi Luo Chun shares the same processes as its reputed counterpart from the North, this tea has evolved to become a truly distinctive tea that is undoubtedly Taiwanese. Made from very young pluckings of Qing Xin Gan Zhi sourced from the hills south of Taipei, our Premium selection is made by a long-standing tea-making family that have produced tea in Sanxia district for several generations. They produce tea from leaves supplied from hundreds of growers in the surrounding hills. The 2024 Pre-Qingming Lot 1303 was made on the first and second day of the 2023 production cycle on Feb. 27 and 28 from leaves sourced from pesticide-free gardens. If you like Wenshan Bao Zhong or high-mountain oolong you’ll be in familiar territory for the sweet and thick buttered green beans accents with the the flowery and balsam freshness of High Mountain Oolongs. As expected, the early spring Lot sells very quickly. We also propose Lot 1248 made just for us with leaves coming from our favourite garden in July 2023 and a winter iteration made in Oct. 2023. With both late 2023 iterations, the texture is smooth and silky with very mild astringency. A very refreshing, yet sophisticated tea for hot summer days and your daily dose of sunshine-in-a-cup for rainy afternoons.

I’m a beginner when it comes to tea tasting, and I am often puzzled when I read the vendors’ taste notes because I can’t taste them. But with this tea, I can definitely tell the “thick buttered green beans accent” and “smooth & silky texture”! I’m a happy camper with this!
