Long Jing Dragon Well tea uses one bud and one leaf or one bud and two leaves in spring as raw materials, while Bi Luo Chun uses one bud and two leaves in early spring as raw materials, so in terms of raw materials, Bi Luo Chun is better than Longjing cha.

The processes of Longjing tea and Bi luo chun are also different. Longjing is a green tea process, while stir-fried green tea is a low-temperature baking process after the green tea is greened. The frying temperature is controlled between 130-150 Celsius degrees and the time is 3-5 minutes. Because the aroma of the tea needs to be retained, it is necessary to fry slowly over low heat.

Bi Luo Chun is a green tea made using traditional manual techniques. Bi Luo Chun green tea needs to go through multiple processes such as picking, spreading, greening, shaping, and drying. Bi Luo Chun tea can only be made through low-temperature baking. High temperatures can easily make Bi Luo Chun bitter. Therefore, the process of Bi Luo Chun tea is more complicated than that of Long Jing tea.
3. Tea flavor and taste, frangrance
The taste of Long Jing tea is refreshing and mellow, with a unique bean flower or chestnut aroma. After brewing, the tea soup is clear and translucent, and the aftertaste is long and sweet, as if it can cleanse the soul. The taste of Bi Luo Chun is more refreshing and sweet, with a unique floral and fruity aroma. After brewing, the fragrance overflows, as if you are in a sea of flowers, making people feel relaxed and happy.
4. Which one wins?
Long Jing tea and Bi Luo Chun tea are the best among green teas. They have distinctive characteristics in terms of origin, tea making craft, taste and aroma. Long Jing green tea attracts countless tea drinkers with its refreshing and mellow taste and fresh and high aroma; while Bi Luo Chun conquers the taste buds of many people with its fresh and sweet floral and fruity taste and rich and long-lasting aroma.
