This tea was first produced in the Ling Yuan temple, on the Bi Luo peak, and is now famous for its remarkable taste. The name Bi Luo Chun was given by the Qing Emperor, who was a big fan of this tea. Thanks to this moniker provided by the emperor, Bi Luo Chun was officially declared an imperial tea. 
Bi Luo Chun is processed by using a wok which has been heated to 200 degrees Celsius. In order to get the best quality Bi Luo Chun, the tea must be picked before the Qingming Festival. To produce one kilogram of high quality Bi Luo Chun, 15,000 tea buds are used.
