Handmade by Master Yan
Produced at 御封茶厂 by Tea Master Jielong Yan, UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage holder.
This is one of our earliest collaborations with Master Yan’s tea factory — a carefully selected small batch of fully handmade early spring Biluochun.
Each leaf is hand-rolled to preserve its tight spiral form and fine down. Dongshan Biluochun are characterized by local fruit orchid aroma: peachy, complex floral and fruity, spring blossoms, smooth and sweet finish.
Handmade Mingqian Biluochun yields are extremely limited.
Once sold out, this batch cannot be restocked.
