Excerpt from a chinese site on tea, information is about bi luo chun
Traditionally only virgin girls are trained and qualified to pick up tea sprouts. When the girls are taking the tea sprouts, they put them inside their chest pockets close to their breasts, so that the tea will be merged in the fragrant odour of the virgins and get a special smell. That is why this type of tea is also called "BiLuoChun with the fragrancy of breast".
ummmm the fragant odour of the virgins

Like so many things Chinese, 90% myth or story telling, 10% reality. Where does myth end and reality begin ...
No offense intended. Over the years I have even read this on Chinese mainland sites.

Ah, never mention this tea to a Chinese person. Bī (tone flat) is a very dirty word, haha.

It is a pretty common story here in China. Most people have heard it.

Yeah! If you stay around long enough, you will hear it for many times. Even more funny is, each time, the same story is about a different tea.

Sex just sells, it is the best advertising for a tea, many perverts would buy the tea just because of this tale and just smell the fresh tiddy, I mean tea.
