Biluochun Green Tea Gift Box – 250g Premium Loose Leaf from Dongting Mountain

Discover the Legendary Taste: Our Biluochun Green Tea Gift Box

We are honored to present our Biluochun Green Tea Gift Box, a 250-gram collection of one of China’s most celebrated and poetic teas. Sourced directly from the mist-shrouded slopes of Dongting Mountain by Lake Taihu, this tea embodies a thousand-year-old legacy. Known as “Green Snail Spring” for its delicate, spiral-shaped leaves, Biluochun is revered for its intoxicating floral aroma and remarkably smooth, sweet flavor—a treasure once reserved for emperors, now offered to you.

This premium loose leaf tea is the result of a unique terroir and meticulous craftsmanship. The tea bushes here grow harmoniously among fragrant fruit orchards, absorbing subtle notes of apricot, peach, and plum blossoms, which naturally infuse the leaves with their complex fragrance. Each bud is hand-plucked in early spring and masterfully pan-fired to preserve its vibrant green color and distinctive tight curl.

Presented in an elegant, gift-ready box, this 250g tea gift set is an invitation to experience authentic Chinese tea culture. It is perfect for the discerning tea drinker seeking purity and tradition, or as a thoughtful, sophisticated present for any occasion.

The Heritage of Dongting Mountain: Birthplace of Biluochun

The character of true Biluochun tea is inseparable from its origin. Dongting Mountain, situated by the vast Lake Taihu, provides a unique microclimate of constant mist, moderate humidity, and mineral-rich soil. This environment, combined with the ancient practice of interplanting tea trees with fruit trees, is what gives our tea its signature “fruity aroma” (Guo Xiang)—a natural scent impossible to replicate elsewhere.

Our tea is harvested from designated gardens within this protected region, ensuring every leaf carries the authentic “Yan Yun” (rock charm or terroir essence) of Dongting. When you brew this Dongting Mountain tea, you are tasting a specific place and a centuries-old agricultural tradition.

A Sensory Journey: Tasting Notes & Characteristics

Dry Leaf: The leaves are small, tender, and tightly coiled into delicate snail-like spirals, covered with a fine, silvery-white fuzz (hao). Their color is a fresh, silvery-green, a testament to careful, low-temperature processing.

Aroma: The dry leaf offers an intense and captivating fragrance. Dominant notes of spring flowers (jasmine, orchid) blend seamlessly with fruity hints of apricot and fresh peach, underpinned by a warm, toasty nuance of roasted chestnuts.

The Liquor: When brewed, the tea yields a clear, pale liquor with a soft, luminous jade-green hue. The unfurled leaves at the bottom of the cup are a vibrant green, showcasing their vitality.

Flavor & Mouthfeel: The taste is exceptionally smooth, mellow, and sweet with almost no astringency. The initial floral and fruity notes from the aroma translate beautifully onto the palate, followed by a refreshing, vegetal sweetness reminiscent of sweet peas or young corn. The finish is clean, sweet, and lingering, inviting sip after sip.

Why Choose Our Biluochun Loose Leaf Tea?

This loose leaf green tea gift represents the pinnacle of quality and authenticity in the world of Chinese green tea.

Guaranteed Authenticity & Protected Origin

Our tea is sourced from certified gardens in the Dongting Mountain region, the true birthplace of Biluochun. We guarantee its geographical authenticity, ensuring you receive the genuine article, not an imitation.

Early Spring Harvest & Handcrafted Quality

Only the youngest, most tender buds and the first leaf are plucked during a short window in early spring. Expert tea masters then use traditional hand-finishing techniques to shape each leaf into its iconic spiral, locking in freshness and flavor.

Natural “Tea-Fruit Interplanting” Aroma

The enchanting fragrance is entirely natural, a gift from the unique ecosystem where the tea grows. No flavors or aromas are added. This makes our Biluochun a pure, unadulterated expression of nature.

Wellness in Every Cup

Rich in antioxidants like catechins, amino acids (especially L-Theanine), and vitamins, this tea supports overall well-being. It offers gentle, focused energy and mental clarity without jitters, aids digestion, and provides a moment of calm mindfulness in a busy day.

Brewing the Perfect Cup of Biluochun

To fully appreciate its delicate nature, we recommend the following method:

1. Teaware: A clear glass cup or a Gaiwan is ideal. Glass allows you to witness the beautiful “tea dance” as the spirals slowly unfurl and sink.
2. Water: Use fresh, filtered water. Temperature is critical: 75-80°C (167-176°F). Boil water, then let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Water that is too hot will scorch the leaves and cause bitterness.
3. Leaf Amount: Use 3-4 grams of tea (about one heaping teaspoon) for every 200ml (7 oz) of water. Biluochun expands significantly, so don’t be fooled by its small dry volume.
4. The Method (Upper Pour): First, place the tea leaves in your pre-warmed cup. Then, gently pour the hot water over the leaves. This method helps the leaves unfurl evenly and release their aroma gradually.
5. Steeping: Steep for 1.5 to 2 minutes for the first infusion. You can enjoy 3-4 infusions from the same leaves. For subsequent brews, simply add hot water again, increasing the steep time slightly each time.
