The Da Fo region is named after the ancient Great Buddha Temple (大佛寺), and is known for its high elevation, misty climate, and mineral-rich soil—ideal conditions for growing complex, aromatic teas. Recognized as one of the authentic Long Jing producing areas, Da Fo teas are prized for their depth and clarity.
Dong Ting Dong Shan Bi Luo Chun
Revered for over a thousand years and famously known in ancient times as the “tea so fragrant it frightens people” (吓煞人香), Biluochun is one of China’s most celebrated spring teas. Our offering comes from the Dong Shan (East Mountain) region of Dongting in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, the birthplace of the original and most prized Biluochun.
This is not just any green tea—it’s the authentic Dongting Dong Shan Biluochun, grown on the eastern slopes of the Dongting mountain range that stretches into the Taihu Lake Peninsula. This region’s misty hills, fertile soil, and proximity to Lake Tai create the ideal microclimate for producing intensely aromatic, delicate teas.
