DongTing BiLuoChun 2024 Spring | Floral and asparagus flavour

Description

ORIGIN & HARVEST TIME

China, Jiangsu Province, Suzhou, 2024

CHARACTER

A light, sweet delicious treat from the Dongting Mountain, overlooking Taihu Lake and Suzhou city in Jiangsu Province. A mixture of green leaves and silver buds, from the original habitat of jade snails, near Taihu Lake. Corn and almond scented, yellowish green, with opalescent flushes of buds. The soft, tender green leaves provide a strong, fresh, invigorating infusion, but 10-20 second steeps can also bring out a fuller, sweet flavor to suit your mood. It’s like a sharp-edged blade of grass that can be played as an instrument, which sounds clear and beautiful.
