What could be better in the middle of the day or after it than a cup of tea? There are a lot of fans of this drink. The variety of tea varieties is incomparable to anything else. Today we will talk about green tea, which is called "Snail" or "Green Snail".

What is this tea?

The history of this tea begins with the great Ming Dynasty. And this is not more nor less - since 1368! This tea grows in a single place - on Dogting Mountain, in Wu County, Jiangsu Province (China).

Its real name is "Bilochun", "Pilochun" or "Lo Chun", which in literal translation will sound like "Spring of the green snail", but we call it more simply - "Green snail". The tea got its name from the shape of the tea leaves, the color and the time of year when the tea was harvested. The shape of tea leaves resembles snails, or rather their shells. Harvest time - early spring, tea variety - green. Here is the title.

Features of taste and aroma

"Greensnail" - tea, known for its "killer aroma", as the Chinese speak of it. The thing is that on the mountain where this variety grows, with fog along the wind rose, the wind brings aromas from fields dotted with flowers and gardens where peach and berry trees grow. Tea absorbs this fog, leaving aromas in itself. You can brew the same tea up to three times - the aroma will remain.

By the way, it was this smell that somehow became the reason for the capture of thieves on tea plantations. Long ago, when tea was first discovered, it was collected for the Emperor and his family. But the poor pickers also wanted to taste this drink and put the kidneys in their bosoms. With moisture, the tea leaves began to swell and smell sweet all over the area!

The taste of the "Green Snail" is also special - honey and fruit. As we already know, the drink acquired this shade thanks to the same fog on the mountain.
