Pouchong Green Tea | 包種茶
About This Tea
Named "Wrapped Kind" after the traditional packaging method, this tea is crafted from greener oolongs but is oxidized slightly longer. This careful process shifts its flavor profile from purely vegetal to a perfect balance of vegetal, floral, and fruity notes. Known as Wenshan Baozhong or Pouchong, this tea stands out as one of the few Taiwanese oolongs not ball-rolled, making it ideal for aging. Aging oolong tea is an art, and this variety excels in developing complexity over time. Versatile and refreshing, it's also an excellent choice for cold brewing.Brewing Tips
