Experts don’t drink Biluochun, but they regard these three “cheap teas” as their favorites

Jiangsu Province is not only renowned for its picturesque landscapes and pleasant environment but also as a prominent tea-producing region in China.

The climate in Jiangsu is quite mild, and although there are no high mountains, the area features several low hills and numerous lakes and rivers, providing ample water resources that create excellent conditions for tea tree cultivation. Historically, Jiangsu has been home to many fine teas, holding a significant place in the tea industry.

Among the teas produced in Jiangsu, the most famous is undoubtedly Dongting Biluochun.

Biluochun is produced in the area around Taihu Lake in Suzhou, Jiangsu, and is also known as “Scary Fragrance” due to its strong aroma. Later, it was renamed Biluochun by Emperor Kangxi, elevating its status. Biluochun is one of China’s high-end green teas and consistently ranks among the top ten famous teas.

Commonly said, “The platform by the water gets the moon first.” Many believe that people in Jiangsu must drink Biluochun frequently due to its proximity to the production area. However, locals say that they don’t get to enjoy Biluochun as often as one might think.

Despite its high reputation, Biluochun has a limited supply and is often booked out shortly after it hits the market. Its price is also relatively high, making it unaffordable for the average person.

Compared to the famous Biluochun, many prefer to drink lesser-known local teas, which, while not as famous, are much cheaper and don’t have the same brand premiums. Besides, their quality is often quite good, so why not enjoy them?

Currently, China’s tea market is bustling, with many excellent teas continuously emerging. Not only are local teas well-loved, but several high-quality teas from other regions are also available, giving everyone a chance to taste fine teas.

Today, let’s take a look at three “affordable teas” that are particularly favored by connoisseurs in Jiangsu—pure, natural, and free from additives, making them favorites among old tea drinkers!
