Starting at $ 0.94 / New 2024 Pre-Qingming Tea
Our Baguashan Bao Zhong (or Pouchong as it is also known in the western world) is made according to the traditional methods that have made the reputation of the Wen Shan area of northern Taiwan. It is a tea that can highlight the skill and craftsmanship of its maker, or do the exact opposite if it is poorly made. This Bao Zhong is made by by a neighbour and family friend for 2 generations now. His secluded garden produces leaves that are isolated from potential pesticide cross-contamination from other neighbouring crops. Although not certified as organic, this tea is made responsibly and very clean. This ”primeur” tea is our first low-oxidized oolong of 2023 and it certainly does incite to celebrations! The lightly rolled, 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, creamy, and very pleasant. The maker’s expert drying technique lightly bakes the leaves which helps seal the flavours and aroma in, and adds a very pleasant almond-like finish and taste. Drinking fresh Bao Zhong is like drinking sunshine in a cup! Both spring 2023 and Fall 2023 crops are just that; tangy, fragrant and lively. Definitively an uplifting experience.
