Green Snail Spring (Bi Luo Chun)
Bi Luo Chun, directly translated to "Green Snail Spring," is known for its emerald snail-shaped, curly leaf, a tea that is so fragrant that it's got the nickname "scary fragrance." These tea trees are grown among fruits such as peach, plum, apricot, orange, and pomegranate, so the tea absorbs the fragrance of fruits and the flower, giving it the signature aroma.
