Title: "Fujian Bi Luo Chun"
Translation: "Emerald Snails of Spring from Fujian", also "Emerald Spirals of Spring from Fujian"
Chinese: 福建碧螺春, pinyin: fújiàn bìluóchūn
Although the birthplace of "Bi Luo Chun" is Jiangsu Province (Chinese: 江苏, pinyin: jiāngsū), tea with this name and using a similar technology is now also made in Fujian, Sichuan and Zhejiang Provinces. Previously, this variety was called "terribly fragrant" (Chinese: 嚇煞人香), but after it was presented as a gift to the reigning Emperor Kangxi (Chinese: 康熙), he renamed it in a modern way. The middle hieroglyph lo (螺) is translated as "spiral shell" or "snail". Externally, this green tea is small leaves and buds twisted into spirals. It has a strong aroma and a refreshing taste.
This tea is also written as "Bi Luo Chun".
