Baozhong
Baozhong (pouchong) is the least oxidized variety of Taiwanese oolong teas. Often called a green oolong, this tea is only lightly oxidized—oxidation typically ranges from 10 to 20%. The laves are long and slightly twisted.
Because of the light oxidation, this tea has a vegetal character that is more similar to green tea. The tea liquor will have a pale golden color and a creamy, rich, and subtly sweet flavor, with no astringency. The aroma is delicate and floral, reminiscent of jasmine and white lily.
This tea would pair well with spicy or smoked dishes, shellfish, buttery desserts, fresh fruit, and cheese.
