Dong Ting Bi Luo Chun is one of China's Ten Famous Tea and regarded by many as second only to Xihu Long Jing. This Tea was created in Ling Yuan Temple of Bi Luo Peak, Dong Shan and was orginally called Xia Si Ren Xiang, which generally means "astounding fragrance". It was the Qing Emperor that gives it its name, Bi Luo Chun (named after Bi Luo Peak) and declared it as an Imperial Tea.
Dong Ting Shan is now a protected area. Only the leaves picked within Dong Ting West and East areas can be considered as Dong Ting Bi Luo Chun.
