Pinglin Bao Zhong

Try this tea first
Product code: CSTW-17

Situated in the north of the island of Taiwan, to the south of the capital, the town of Pinglin remains true to the traditional Wulong style of "Bao Zhong" with the leaves rolled lengthways into twists and sorted by hand, one by one, to create perfect uniformity between them.

Velvety and slightly saline, the liquor is floral (lilac) and vegetal (spinach) enhanced with soft accents of spices and butter. The evolution of flavours and mouthfeel is dynamic with a persistent finish refined with citrus (clementine) and flowers.

This tea is greatly appreciated, year after year.
