First-Pick Biluochun 101

头采碧螺春 · Tou Cai Biluochun

Every tea harvest has a beginning.

Tou Cai / 头采 refers to the first picking at the beginning of a harvest period.

For this Biluochun, that designation gives the tea a more specific harvest identity than a standard everyday Biluochun.

First Pick · Fresh Leaves · A New Tea Season

Importantly:

Tou Cai ≠ Mingqian

Tou Cai describes:

Picking Sequence

Mingqian describes:

Harvest Timing Before Qingming

Because this product is identified as Tou Cai but not specifically as Mingqian, it should be described as First Pick, not automatically as Pre-Qingming tea.

Tasting Profile

Fresh, Fragrant & Refined

Aroma

Fresh · Fragrant · Green

A fresh tea fragrance rises as the curled leaves meet warm water.

Taste

Bitter · Sweet · Fragrant

The packaging expresses the tea through:

苦 · 甘 · 香

These can be understood as bitter, sweet and fragrant—different dimensions that may appear as the tea moves from first sip to finish.

Body

Light to Medium

Fresh enough for regular green-tea drinking while offering enough character for a more focused tea session.

Leaf Style

Fine · Curled · Spiral-Like

The curled leaf appearance gives Biluochun its distinctive visual identity.

Overall Character

Fresh · Fragrant · Refined

Exact bitterness, sweetness, aroma, liquor color and intensity naturally vary with tea batch, water quality, leaf quantity, temperature and brewing method.

---

苦 · 甘 · 香

Three Dimensions of Tea

The packaging offers a beautifully concise expression of this tea:

苦 · Bitter

A gentle edge may appear in the first impression depending on how the tea is brewed.

甘 · Sweet

As the cup develops, a softer returning sweetness may follow.

香 · Fragrant

Aroma remains part of the experience before, during and after the sip.

Together:

Bitter · Sweet · Fragrant

One tea.

Several impressions.

A character that continues beyond the first sip.

Curled Leaves, Gentle Fragrance

Biluochun has a visual identity very different from Longjing.

Longjing is known for:

Flat Leaves

Biluochun is recognized for:

Curled · Spiral-Like Leaves

Before brewing, the leaves appear compact.

Then water changes them.

They soften.

They separate.

They begin to open.

Fragrance rises.

The infusion develops.

Curled Leaf · Warm Water · Gentle Aroma

Approx. 66 Brewing Portions

The generous 200 g format makes this more than a small discovery tea.

Using approximately:

3 g per Brewing Session

one tin provides around:

66 Brewing Portions

The same leaves can generally be infused more than once, allowing those portions to become many individual cups.

This makes the 200 g format particularly suitable for:

• Regular Biluochun drinkers

• Focused tea sessions

• Customers who prefer buying more of a tea they already enjoy

Clear Glass or White Porcelain?

Clear Glass

Visual · Relaxed · Easy

Biluochun is especially enjoyable in transparent glassware because the curled leaves become part of the experience as they soften and move through the water.

Choose glass for a simple visual everyday cup.

White Porcelain Gaiwan

Focused · Controlled · Traditional

A white porcelain gaiwan gives you greater control over shorter repeated infusions.

Its neutral surface keeps attention on the leaves, aroma and changing tea liquor.

Infuser Mug

Convenient · Everyday · Desk-Friendly

A removable infuser makes Biluochun easy to prepare at home or at work.

Glass for Beauty · Porcelain for Control · Infuser Mug for Convenience
