nutty, slightly hickory flavour and a sweet lingering after taste.
Dongting Biluochun
It is locally known as “Fearful Incense”
due to the strong aroma of the brew. The technique for collecting tea leaves is
very complex. Only the tender tip of the leaf is used for the tea making
process. The part of the leaf should be no longer than one inch and shape like
the tip of a spear. The next step in the process is to repeatedly knead, rub
and roll the leaves by hand. The Biluochun tea involves a particularly labor
intensive process but the end result are leaves that are compact, tender and
wonderfully fresh and aromatic.
