Spring Snail

Spring Snail or Bi Luo Chun green tea is celebrated for its robust taste and lingering floral aroma. The name reflects its beautiful spiral shape, resembling a snail shell. This tea is sourced directly from its place of origin: Dong Ting (West Mountain) at Lake Tai.

For those who prefer a fuller, grassy flavor over the beany and nutty notes of Dragon Well — this tea is a perfect alternative.

Tea Story

In the misty heights of Dong Ting Mountain, where the air is crisp and the soil rich, a legendary tea comes to life — Bi Luo Chun, also known as Blue Spring or Jade Green Snail Spring.

This revered Chinese green tea is often mentioned in the same breath as Long Jing, celebrated for its unique character and unmatched elegance. But Bi Luo Chun is a tea with exacting standards, demanding perfection at every step, from the terroir to the picking and processing.
Anything less, and its renowned flavors can easily slip into mediocrity, leaving behind a tea that’s all too often overpriced and underwhelming.

Each delicate bud and leaf is a testament to careful hand-rolling and precise firing, resulting in a tea that whispers of hot wok and reveals layers of flavor with every sip. The liquor is a delicate broth, wrapping creamy sweetness around mineral undertones, with hints of elderflower and the soft chew of sweet mochi.
