Tea Story

Gold Bi Luo Chun is crafted from the iconic tea gardens of Yunnan and captures the essence of the land with every leaf.

Harvested as a delicate one leaf to one bud set, each pluck represents the perfect balance between youthful buds and tender leaves. The leaves are carefully hand-rolled into small, tight pellets, reminiscent of the classic green tea Bi Luo Chun, but with a twist of rich black tea character. The gentle rolling process enhances the tea’s natural sweetness and locks in its distinctive flavor profile. As the tea ages, it continues to evolve, deepening in flavor and maturing into a harmonious blend of malty sweetness, chocolaty undertones, and floral hints.

Gold Bi Luo Chun’s character shifts with the seasons. The spring harvest offers a robust and slightly less tipsy tea, rich with flavor and depth. In contrast, the autumn harvest yields a tea that is golden-tipped, slightly sweeter, and more relaxed, offering a smoother, more easy-going sip. With each year, the tea continues to transform, gaining a subtle honey-like mellowness that enhances its already captivating profile.
