- There is an interesting legend about how this tea got its name. It tells about two girls who went on a walk in the mountain. Upon discovering the tea bush, they started to fill their baskets with fresh tea leaves. With the basket filled up to the brim, one of the girls started putting leaves in her bosom. Once heated up, they started oozing an intense aroma, which at first startled the girl. And so, the tea was named "frightening people fragrance", or Xia Sha Ren Xiang. Later, when the emperor toured the area, he sampled the tea and decided it surely deserved a more elegant name. Thus, it was renamed BiLuoChun. BiLuo means "snail" and refers to the rolled tea leaves in the form of green spirals. "Chun" is for spring, as farmers harvest this tea in early spring.
