Description
Bao Zhong is a lightly oxidized oolong tea from Taiwan that is harvested twice per year, with a spring crop in April and a winter harvest in December. Our Bao Zhong is made from the famous Qingxin tea cultivar, which presents a delicate palate with aromas of lilac and orchid when lightly oxidized. This classic style of tea is processed with an oxidation level of less than 20% to preserve these ethereal, high floral aromas. The name Bao Zhong was originally a trade name used to describe any style of tea from Fujian or Taiwan that was wrapped by hand in paper sheets and sold by 150g net weight and is alternatively spelled as Pouchong in the tea trade.

Favorite tea
This is my absolute favorite tea to drink. The floral notes are fabulous, and complemented by the slightly
...
nutty flavors of light oxidization. My first tea love was jasmine, so I'm definitely into aromatic varieties.

Not too smelly
This oolong has a really evocative smell. The colour isn't particularly intense but the smell and flavour
...
is developed. This looks like a very weak tea but it's quite individual. Unlike other oolongs that I've tasted, here the smell matches its taste. It doesn't seem to have too strong a caffeine kick either. This is ideal for after lunch when you want a little boost but not so much that you'll be up until 3am.
