Spring Pouchong “Bao Zhong”

Spring Pouchong “Bao Zhong” 包種茶

Pouchong is the least oxidized of all the Oolongs (about 8%) and is picked for only three weeks in April making it a highly sort after tea. In fact it is one of the most popular teas in Taiwan. The leaves are long, green and slightly twisted. They produce a yellow liquor (infusion) with a refreshing floral flavour and creamy texture. A must try for any Oolong tea lover!

Bao Zhong translates to ‘wrapped kind’ – this name was given to the tea because traditionally the tea producer would wrap individual packets of tea in paper as it was drying.
