Baozhong Wenshan Oolong Tea. Spring 2019, Taiwan.

The Baozhong from Wenshan mountains, located in northern Taiwan, is some of the best oolong tea in its style that we have had. A beautiful floral fragrance with a creamy touch and a clean taste make this a choice spring tea.

DRY LEAF: Wiry and lightly rolled with a sweet floral and creamy fragrance. This tea has a very light oxidation and a light roasting.

INFUSED LEAF: The leaves are smaller denoting the early spring pick. A beautiful floral nose.

CUP: The liquor is pale and clean. Plenty of floral fragrance. There is a nice creamy touch on the palate. Smooth cup with no bitterness. Exquisite tea!
