Best Green Tea - Master Heritage Biluochun

Biluochun is a renowned green tea in Chinese history, and the top grade of Biluochun requires not only high picking standards and early harvest times but also the craftsmanship of a master. The tea we've chosen is supervised by Shi Liwen, a non-heritage cultural inheritor of Biluochun. Shi Yuewen, born into a family known as the "Tea King," has ancestors who were called "Old Biluo" for their tribute of Biluochun to the imperial court, and his grandmother, Zhou Ruijuan, personally pan-fried tea for Zhu De. Building on the traditional skills of making Biluochun tea, Shi Yuewen has created new methods for making Biluochun black tea and osmanthus-flavored black tea. In 2017, he was selected as a representative inheritor of the fifth batch of national-level intangible cultural heritage projects. The tea he personally makes is not available for purchase; it requires advance booking and is extremely expensive.
