Also known as ''Pi Lo Chun'', it is renowned for its delicate appearance, fruity taste, floral aroma, showy white hairs and early cropping. The name ''Biluochun'' literally means "green snail spring". It is called so because it is a green tea that is rolled into a tight spiral, resembling snail meat, and is cropped in early spring. Its original name is ''Xia Sha Ren Xiang'' (; "scary fragrance"). Legend tells of its discovery by a tea picker who ran out of space in her basket and put the tea between her breasts instead.

Green Tea
Green tea is a type of tea made from the leaves and buds of the '' Camellia sinensis'' that have not undergone the withering and oxidation process that creates oolong teas and black teas. Green tea originated in China in the late 1st millennium BC, and since then its production and manufacture has spread to other countries in East Asia. Several varieties of green tea exist, which differ substantially based on the variety of ''C. sinensis'' used, growing conditions, horticultural methods, production processing, and time of harvest.

History Tea consumption has its legendary origins in China during the reign of mythological Emperor Shennong.
