Wenshan Baozhong from Red Blossom Tea Company

Teafreak drank Wenshan Baozhong by Red Blossom Tea Company

Wow, this oolong is delicious! The first few steepings deliver a rich buttery taste and aroma that, like cheesecake, almost becomes difficult to continue drinking. After the first three steepings it mellows out into a nice sweet, relaxing drink. While this comes from Taiwan, it reminds me of a high quality green tieguanyin.

I highly recommend this tea, but I also recommend not to expect this to be a daily tea, but rather a special treat.

Sounds delicious. In my experience with the finest baozhong I get a strong cinnamon or brown sugar sweetness on the aroma of the wet leaf. Similar experience with this one?

Absolutely! The smell of the leaves and the taste is delicious and has a rich sweet taste

Bio

I began my tea adventure when a counselor at Spanish camp introduced me to yerba mate. From there I soon started to embrace all different kinds of tea.

Currently my favorite tea is dragonwell, with silver needles being a close second. I really enjoy trying new teas and experimenting with different steep times and temperatures,
