Bao Zhong Oolong Tea (25g)

Literally translating to “the wrapped kind,” Bao Zhong Oolong stems from northern Taiwan near Taipei. Its popularity skyrocketed in the late 1890s, because its delicate floral fragrance successfully lasted after long journeys across the Pacific Ocean. Nicknamed a “green oolong tea,” Bao Zhong is lightly oxidized to maintain its grassy flavor and its liquor a bright emerald green. Its leaves are gently twisted into skinny strips to maintain its delicate shape, and then lovingly wrapped in paper.

Tasting Notes: Smooth and velvety with notes of honey, fresh magnolia, and green snap peas. Expect a lingering sweetness reminiscent of sweet corn, with a cooling and calming body sensation.
