Tea color turquoise, tea shape curls like snails, spring picking, so the Kangxi Emperor gave the "BiluoChun" elegant name, Biluochun is the chinese traditional top ten famous tea, from the tea attributes above, Biluochun is green tea, has always been among the top ten famous teas in China. And it is also the top few of the top ten famous teas.
Biluochun has a history of more than 1,000 years, it is said that the origin of the real Biluochun tea name, but also related to Kangxi, Kangxi thirty-eight years (1699) Chunnan tour of Taihu Lake. Tasting this "frightening and fragrant" tea, the emperor used his name as indecent and titled "BiluoChun". Later generations commented that this was the Kangxi Emperor who took its color turquoise, curled like a snail, picked in spring, and obtained from the characteristics of Dongting Biluo Peak, and gave it its good name.
People who like Biluochun often say that only Suzhou Dongting Biluochun is the most authentic Biluochun! Why? It's actually quite simple, there's no why. Of course, tea is the most authentic of the origin! This is also related to why the hairy crabs of Yangcheng Lake are only the best in Yangcheng Lake, and other places are not called Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. Although the process and variety are the same, but the ecological environment is different, the taste will of course be different.
When it comes to whether tea is authentic, there are generally three aspects, one is where is the origin of this tea, where is the core production, the second is the process of this tea is a traditional craft, or a modern process, and the third is what kind of tea is this tea? Is it a new variety, or a group soil species. Biluochun is also called Dongting Biluochun, this Dongting is an original real estate area, referring to the East Dongting Mountain and the West Dongting Mountain in Suzhou Taihu Lake. But Dongting Mountain is not Dongting Lake, it is Hunan! In 2002, it was approved by the General Administration of Quality Supervision and Inspection of the People's Republic of China and obtained the protection of products with regional indications of origin.
It was found that the origin of many famous teas is related to Kangxi Qianlong. First, there are Kangqian events in itself, such a good dynasty, economic prosperity and literati yake, and tea is one of the favorites of literati yake, and they also like to go down to Jiangnan, Jiangnan is not only beautiful, but also more delicious. Like the West Lake Longjing, which is also titled Imperial Tea by Qianlong, the eighteen trees are the symbol of the West Lake Longjing.
Back to Biluo Spring Tea, Dongting Biluochun is the place of origin, the ecological environment also has its own characteristics, and the tea plant is also a traditional tea species! Some are still old tea trees! Because the origin is only a little bit bigger. And Biluochun is also a famous tea, so many places are also planted. The process also uses the same process as Biluochun. Like these years, not only Liyang in Jiangsu has been planted, but also like Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan, Fujian and so on in other provinces. There are also like our Anhui actually have.
Purely from the appearance, it is difficult to distinguish, this is not Dongting Biluochun. Only after drinking, you may feel it. How it is not the same as imagined. The reason why there is a saying that oranges are born in Huainan and are born in Huaibei is orange shows that the same thing, in different places, will have different appearances and different tastes. It may be better to be like Liyang in Jiangsu, but like the tea produced in Fujian, Guizhou, although it is also called Biluochun. But the taste difference is too great.
