Heirloom Varietal Bi Luo chun

Bi Luo Chun is back and its better than last year!  This year we bought teas from April 1st through 5th. This wide range of pickings brought a wide range of flavors from soft tangerine, to nutty and bold.  April 1st: The earliest pick, this tea is the softest. Not much astrignecy, this Bi Luo Chun is calm and refreshing. Notes of citrus, tangerine and leafy greens give this picking a very round flavor. The abundance of tea hairs also gives this tea a fuzziness. If you enjoyed 2025's Bi Luo Chun, this tea is very similar.  April 2nd: This tea is very similar to April 1st but the tangerine notes are calmer and your starting to see  a complexity form. There is a slight sharpness to the flavor. This sharpness is a key part of Bi Luo Chun and gives this tea some kick. In this picking its more soft but still leaves your mouth refreshed. Floral notes are also starting to form.  April 3rd: This is the most balanced of all the pickings. The tangerine - vegetal notes of day one have settled down and the nutty -floral notes have developed a bit more. These notes are all subtle and balanced leaving you with a subtle and compex tea. Notes of minerality are also starting to show.  April 4th: The tea is becoming strong. Bi Luo Chun drinkers know that the true flavor of this tea is not soft and delicate. I often call its the IPA of teas for its sharp flavor. The sharpness is a bit of a kick in the mouth but leaves you feeling energized and refreshed. The nutty-rocky notes are stronger here. The citrus -vegetal notes are still there but they have settled in the background giving this tea a nice complexity.  April 5th: The full flavor of Bi Luo Chun as developed here. Flavors are bold and lively giving your tastebuds a bit of a jolt but also allowing them to take in the complex flavor of this picking. A floral aroma has really developed here as well.
