tai lake pi luo chun

(2 reviews)
Tai Lake Pi Luo Chun, or Bi Luo Chun, consists of young, short, curly leaves with many gorgeous fuzzy buds. A spring 2022 harvest delivers its usual sweet aroma of lily and pear and soft roasted nut notes. When brewed, the resulting liquor is a pale yellow with light sweet pea floral and a warming nuttiness that adds a soft savory effect. Silky finish with lingering florals.
About the leaves:
Grown at around 300-900 meters above sea level, our Pi Luo Chun hails from the Tai Lake region of Suzhou, Jiangsu, China. The 2 cm long leaves are hand-plucked from 10-30 year old trees in mid-April and consist of 1 bud and 1 or 2 leaves. It then goes through the extra step of quality control where subpar leaves, fannings, and other impurities are carefully and painstakingly picked out.

Pretty, fuzzy little buds with a floral (I get honeysuckle) flavor and a smoky finish. Not my fave of the Masters teas, but it's always fun to try them!
