Our Pouchong (Bao Zhong) tea is made from Taiwanese Cui Yu cultivar (TRES #13). This tea will please those who like soft green or light oolong tea. Fruity-berry flavor, oily (but not too much), with a pleasant refreshing classic herbaceousness in the aftertaste. In the taste there, barberry caramel notes are clearly readable. Sometimes Pouchong tea resembles a light Dan Cong oolong.
Completely non-capricious, inexpensive casual tea, not devoid of exquisite.
Brief (few seconds) steeps in 90 Celsius water.
Liquor is clear and pale yellowish in look.
Taste is mild and pear-like fruity sweet, medium body, and slightly floral in the aftertaste.
Some dryness and stickiness in the mouthfeel, encouraging salivation.
No astringency nor bitterness.
Wet leaves are deep olive-green in hue, large with stems.
This tea withstands many steeps.
This Pouchong differs a lot from the other Pouchongs I drank before. The taste is very calm, smooth, tasty with a nice clear body feeling this evening I will make the 3rd steep!
The smell from the open package surprises with its aroma. Taste of milk. If over steeping, there is no bitterness.
