Huang Shan Bao Zhong

Huang Shan Bao Zhong – Small-Batch Top-Grade Pouchong Oolong

Huang Shan Bao Zhong is produced in small artisan batches and represents the highest grade in its category. Bao Zhong, also spelled Pouchong, is a lightly oxidized, twisted-leaf oolong valued for its fresh, floral character, and this artisan lot presents the style at its best. It is a strong addition for tea shops that want a lighter oolong bridging the gap between green tea and more oxidized styles.

The processing of Bao Zhong is defined by minimal handling. From hand-picking through rolling and drying, the leaves are touched as little as possible so that they keep the freshest possible taste. This careful approach allows the leaves to retain their vibrant jade color and delicate aroma, producing a tea that sits neatly between green tea and oolong. The dry leaf is vibrant jade and gently twisted. The first impression in the cup is one of striking freshness, followed by a creamy, buttery flavor with a long, sweet undertone, mild vegetal and mineral accents, and a smooth, silky finish. The tea holds up very well over multiple infusions, which has made it a favorite with tea enthusiasts. It suits gongfu brewing in a gaiwan or small teapot, pairs with light meals, fresh fruit and delicate pastries, and also makes a crisp iced oolong.
