a Black BiLuoChun when Bi means Emerald Meaning Green? Please
enlighten us on this misnomer, or is the vendor pulling a fast one on
us just because BiLuoChun is supposedly a famous Chinese Green?


Vendors have been doing this for years. *Yunnan Sourcing has sold a
Yunnan red tea with that name shaped like BLC but way too big to be
from the same cultivar.

I agree with lew.
When I asked Roy Fong about this, he just said it was a "poetic
license" of the vendor since the tea looks like a Bi luo Chun.
This stuff no longer bothers me. After getting to know the reliability
of the vendor and the and general quality of the product I overlook
these things and there are real clues when a vendor is a hustler.
If the tea is good, I drink it. I do like this Hong Cha, whatever they
call it.
