Red tea Hong Bi Lo Chun (Red and emerald spirals of spring)

Hong Bi Luo Chun (红碧螺春) is a rare and exquisite red tea, created in the same vein as the famous green Bi Luo Chun. Made from delicate spring buds twisted into a spiral, it offers a soft, sweet and fruity taste with notes of apricot, cocoa, honey and a light spicy aftertaste.

This tea is distinguished by its elegant shape - each tea leaf is hand-twisted into a small spring that unfolds during brewing, giving the tea aesthetics and multi-layered taste. The spring harvest ensures a high concentration of essential oils and a delicate texture of the infusion.

What is special about Hong Bi Luo Chun?

• Spring raw materials - only young buds and first leaves
• Manual twisting into a spiral (snail) shape
• The taste is sweet, fruity, with notes of caramel and cocoa.
• The aroma is floral-honey, light, warm.

Interesting fact:

Although classic Bi Luo Chun is a green tea, in the 21st century, craftsmen from Yunnan created a “red version,” maintaining the shape but adding a new depth of flavor through fermentation.
