Bao Zhong Oolong Tea 40g

admin — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 13:13:55 +0000

Comes from the traditional method of packaging whereby it would be wrapped in paper sheets. Usually, this tea is one of the greener oolongs. However, our version is slightly different, because ours is encouraged to oxidize just a little bit longer. This allows the flavor profile to gradually shift away from the vegetal spectrum, until it strikes a perfect balance between vegetal, floral and fruity notes. A versatile tea that is also a top choice for cold brewing.

Because of its unique dairy aroma, creamy texture and minimal astringency. its other name, Milk Oolong. a superior balance of flavors. Grown at a fairly modest altitude, in the subtropical regions.

This results in faster plant development, which in our opinion is actually desirable for this tea as it further emphasizes the delicate vegetal notes which pair well with the milky flavors.
