Default BiLuoChun What's a snail?

I bought a commercial package of BiLuoChun which means "Spring Green
Snail" and in one description the leaf is described as the spiral shell
of a snail. That matches the contents of the package. I looked at the
pictures of the tea on the Internet and I don't see the snail. They
seem more like long thin twisted leaves with some curl. I didn't see
the 'snail shell' at any site. I know the tea is graded and the
commercial package is 'Premium'. I'm wondering why the commercial
package looks like a 'snail shell' and the Internet sites don't. Or
how does your version look?

Jim
