If oolong tea can be chic, Wenshan Baochong is it: sophisticated, refined, unctuous (save it for your fanciest friends—or for yourself). With Wenshan Baochong, aroma is of the utmost importance: a rich, strong fragrance is indicative of a good, high-end product. Unroasted with floral aromas, most of Wenshan Baochong Oolong’s tea leaves are unoxidized, giving it a quality reminiscent of a green tea with a dash of DongDing. Floral notes and aroma arise naturally from the tea leaves.
Wenshan Baochong Oolong grows in the Wenshan region of Northern Taiwan, where the year-long mild climate and fog-filled air give the tea a distinct, refined quality. Wenshan Baochong tea turns a golden honey-green color after steeping and has a delightful floral flavor with a sweet finish.
Tea leaves are bright green and twisted into long strands.
