Bi Luo Chun Tea
Besides Hangzhou, Suzhou is another hometown for Chinese tea culture. And one of the most famous teas named Bi Luo Chun can be found in this city. It is locally known as "Fearful Incense" due to the strong aroma of the brew!
During the Qing dynasty, Emperor Kangxi visited Suzhou and praised the flavor of this aromatic tea. The tea leaves are picked from the Biluo Mountain near Tai Lake, and are collected traditionally in early spring between what is known as "Tomb-sweeping Day" and "Grain Rain Day"!
Bi Luo Chun, 'green and curly leaves of spring' in Chinese, is the second prized green tea only after Dragon Well.
