IMHO, it would need a better re-working in Chinese, rather than to
just use a literal translation. It's very important for Chinese to use
nice sounding, catchy names; rather than literal translation of the
English.

For example, you could try:
±¦²è´Êµä (Bao Cha Ci Dian) Precious Tea Dictionary
Where Bao is a "b" word to like Babel.

Or maybe:
±¦Àð²è´Êµä (Bao Li Ci Dian) Precious Carp Tea Dictionary


Something like that anyway. The first example is better than the
second, IMO.
