Wenshan Bao Zhong tea is a good example of how Taiwan is so distinctive in its tea offering to the world. If there is one tea that is synonym with spring it is Bao Zhong tea! With its light and refined taste, Bao Zhong tea is the perfect choice for people who wish to drink green tea but are not attracted to its grassiness. Its gently curled, lightly oxidized full leaves of the dried tea are simply beautiful to look at. When steeped, the leaves unfurl rapidly to reveal their intriguing aroma of green vegetal notes that evokes buttered green beans with distinctive floral overtones. Nothing aggresses the senses. The liqueur is smooth, refreshing, and very pleasant. When lightly baked, like with this Lot 1243, the very heady flower notes are rounded off with sweet overtones and a roasted almond like nuttiness that is quite soothing yet still very refreshing: a sensuous bouquet of flowers in a cup caramelized to perfection. This particular lot was baked by our 1st Prize Dong-Ding Competition winning resident Tea Master in June 2023. Just the soothing cup that everybody needs.

Brief steeps (5-10 seconds) in 90 Celsius water.
Liquor is clear with a bright light golden yellow in look.
Taste is sweet to the likes of green beans, creamy, with a slight floral note in the aftertaste.
The bake level is low and gives no hint of ‘roasted’ aroma.
Mouthfeel slightly sticky from the medium body infusion, with no astringency.
Wet leaves are dark olive green in hue.
Empty cup leaves a mild sweet smell.
The flavor intensity starts to mellow down by the 6th/7th infusion, thus best to do a longer infusion from here onwards.
A longer steep (30 seconds) gives a more pronounced floral note, especially when you let it cool down, and still no astringency detected.
