Bao Zhong (also known as Pouchong ) is a light Taiwanese oolong, produced in the pristine Pinglin region since the 18th century. It is gently oxidized (8-12%), un-roasted, twisted and not rolled, and hence falls between green teas and traditional (more oxidised) oolongs.
As a lighter, greener and un-rolled oolong Baozhong is best steeped at
cooler water temperatures, from 80-90deg.C, for multiple short(ish)
times (1-2 mins).
Fresh 2022 Spring
Our current selection s made from the QingXin cultivar was picked/grown in the classic PingLin region at approximately 500m altitude in March 2022 and gives off a floral (orchid) and melon fragrance and has a rich, mild taste with a beautiful lemon yellow liquor that has a lingering sweetness that coats the mouth. Yum..!!
