Emerald Oolong

Oolong Tea by Zhi Tea

This is a rare organic certified Huang Shan Bao Zhong Oolong of the highest grade – made in small artisanal batches.

Bao Zhong tea is processed with a minimum of rolling and drying, resulting in large, deep green leaves that have undergone only slight oxidation.

This tea is good for many steepings. Silky mouth-feel and long floral exotic finish.

One of our Artisan Reserve oolong teas, a line of small batch handmade teas from a craft handed down over generations. Hand selected for having all the hallmark qualities of the highest grades with noteable personality accents.

A stupendous artisan Pouchong Oolong. Rich and succulent, slightly sweet, long finish.

AKA Formosa Pouchong, Baozhong.

I quite fancy this baozhong. A bit different than most. While occasionally I get a hint of astringency, I love the deep complexity of this tea. It holds up well to several steepings and has a nice richness, a depth I don’t often find in most bao zhongs.
Really, really good.
