pi lo chun
by adagio teas
(10 reviews)
Green tea from the Jiangsu province of China. Pi Lo Chun (sometimes written biluochun) is made from the finest tender buds, gathered and processed exclusively by hand. Perfumy and sweet floral, with a full body and slight earthiness. Lingering, aromatic finish and interestingly floral-smoky. Pi Lo Chun is known for having a very distinct character; you'll find ours to be quite friendly to the palate and savory. Enjoy! Steep at 180°F for 2 minutes

I like green tea. The dry leaves are twisted green and white. The aroma is pleasing to me and I get umami and seaweed. 2 min @ 165. Nice fresh green taste. No astringency.

I'm not usually big on green tea. I prefer stronger black, oolong or pu'erh teas. But, this green tea is very very good. Not grassy, just sweetly herbal with a bit of an earthy nuance. Yum!

I was surprised by the sweetness I detected in the pouch prior to steeping. Post-steeping, Pi Lo Chun has a sweet, almost floral taste with a semi-smoky, earthy finish. I added in a bit of Acacia honey which lends a lovely vanilla note to each sip--and helps offset the slight grassiness.

This is a tasty green tea with no grassiness detected. It’s slightly sweet and is great for someone who is new to green tea.

This was gifted to me by a sweet tea friend. It was delicious! I didn't get any smokiness, but it did have a buttery, nutty, slightly floral taste that lingered on the tongue after I was done sipping it. Really enjoyed this one! (176/2 min.)

I like trying different varieties of green tea, but I have to say that this one was probably my least favorite so far. Hot, I really couldn't find much flavor. After allowing the tea to cool, I noticed a floral scent, but there was an astringent aftertaste that was overwhelming the flavor even though I only steeped the tea for a short time. Maybe I would like this tea better brewed at a lower temperature. I also missed a slight leafiness that is usually found in green tea.

This tea is basic and i love it. It's not too much and not too little. TBH. It's a light tea to drink while studying.

This pi lo chun was incredibly smooth and rich—almost creamy if you can believe it! I detected no grassiness that some other reviewers have noted but it just so happened to be rich not just in taste but in vegetal flavors. I know how close vegetal is to brothiness but I can't seem to bridge the gap between my least and most favorite flavor profiles. I want to like it so bad but I just don't.

The leaves were light but tea brewed dark for a green tea. It was much too grassy for my liking and left a dry sensation on my mouth at finish.

The floral aroma is quite light in my CommuniTEA cup. It brews up pale with a full body and distinctive green taste. It's interestingly sweet, with hints of mineral and wisps of smoke. Quite astringent on the finish.
