Pi Lo Chun from Tea Leaves

Steepster Score 1 Rating Rate This Tea

76/100

Pi Lo Chun

Green Tea by Tea Leaves

A rare tea known for its snail-like appearance, grown among peach, plum & apricot trees so that young leaves absorb the fragrance of the fruit blossoms. Only one leaf is plucked with each new bud instead of the usual two leafs and a bud.

The leaves are silvery and possess the distinctive curly shape, and they brew up into a yellow-brown liquid that reminds me a lot of white peony/pai mu tan. The taste also reminds me a lot of a good loose-leaf pai mu tan. The aftertaste gets progressively more bitter as you get to the end of the pot; I found the second steeping a lot more gentle. This is a green tea that will definitely appeal to lovers of white tea.
