I’m thinking outside the box this morning, so I made a cup of Bao Zhong from a sample. My oolong experience is limited, but until now I didn’t remember liking it. This is a nice, mild cup. I am sure if I had steeped it longer, the flavor would be stronger, but I probably wouldn’t enjoy it as much.

This tea is so so good! I’ve bumped up the rating. But, I’m having a hard time describing it…
It smells somewhat of grass or hay, but the taste is very subtle. I am not sure I can really describe the taste, but I really like the mouthfeel. It’s slightly thick, but not in a bad way. In fact, since I’ve started drinking more green/white/oolong teas, my old favorite herbals seem so watery. I can’t say much for color, as I can’t really tell in my mug, but it’s not cloudy.

This was just a sample, and I will be sorely disappointed when it is all gone. I think I’ve only got one or two cups left.

This is the last of my Bao Zhong. I will miss you, my first oolong!
