This coloration occurs because the tea is made from buds and young leaves that are picked just before the tea plants start to flower.

3. How to prepare and brew biluochun green tea

Preparing biluochun green tea is very simple, but you should use the right amount of tea leaves. The standard used for this type of tea is one teaspoon per 100 ml water. The water has to be heated to 80 degrees Celsius before the actual brewing process begins. If you are looking for a more refreshing taste, add cold water (5-10 Celsius) before heating it.

Brewing time varies according to how strong you want your tea to be. If you want a light drink, steep it for 1 min; if you prefer a stronger taste, leave the leaves in boiling water for 2-3 mins. The steeping time also affects the color of the drink: the lighter the color, the milder and less bitter it will be.

The temperature of the boiling water is important too: if you add cold water (5-10 degrees Celsius), then let it slowly come to 80 degrees Celsius before steeping the tea leaves, you will get a light green drink; but if you add hot water (around 95 degrees Celsius) to cold tea leaves, you will get a dark green drink with a stronger taste.
