Identity and origin
Dongting Biluochun is a fine, curled spring green tea from the Lake Tai landscape. Its protected-origin identity is narrower than the general use of the name Biluochun.
Craft and leaf style
Very tender shoots are pan-fired and rolled into tight spirals, often showing fine white hairs. Small leaf size makes heat and hand control especially important.
Aroma, taste and texture
Floral, fruity, sweet and fresh notes may appear with a light body and lively aroma. Excessive heat can quickly make the cup bitter.
Practical guidance
Use 2g per 200-250ml around 75-80°C and keep the first infusion brief.
Identification and caution
Distinguish Dongting-origin tea from similarly shaped Biluochun made elsewhere; leaf curl alone is not proof of origin.
