BAO ZHONG

DESCRIPTION

• Bao Zhong is a type of oolong tea that originates from Taiwan. It is known for its light and fragrant flavor profile, with subtle hints of floral and fruity notes. Bao Zhong is typically less oxidized than other oolong teas, which gives it a lighter and more delicate taste.

• This tea is also characterized by its smooth and slightly sweet finish, making it a popular choice for those who enjoy lighter and more refreshing teas. Bao Zhong tea is traditionally grown in the Wenshan district of northern Taiwan, where the climate and soil conditions are ideal for producing high-quality tea leaves.

• Bao Zhong translates to "packed, wrapped tea" because of the way it was originally processed by wrapping the leaves in paper during the drying process.

• This oolong is characterized by twisted, long, thin leaves. After a very short oxidation, it is wrapped in cotton fabric and dried by roasting.

• Enjoy this comforting tea with a crisp, golden infusion and fresh green taste.
