2023 Pinglin Hong Xin Yin Zhi Baozhong Oolong

Origin: Pinglin, New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Harvest: November 2023
Tea cultivar: Hong Xin Yin Zhi

Winter batch of excellent Baozhong!

We used spring batch in our Taiwan curated boxes in May 2023. Some of you may be familiar with this cultivar already.

You should know most of the teas in Pinglin are now produced there are made from Qing Xin and Jin Xuan bush.

Hong Xin Ying Zhi (red heart, strong branch) Baozhong was definitely one my favourite from all cultivars growing in Pinglin. This is old varietal you can see in north Taiwan areas like Pinglin and Shimen. I will tell you why I love this tea: great strong mouthfeel combined with incredible floral, creamy sweetness and really long and sweet aftertaste.

Creamy texture combined with watermelon/cucumber freshness and white flowers notes make this tea so enjoyable!

Just taste it: no matter if you brew it in Gong Fu style or brew it in the bowl, the tea is always so charming!
