Tea Review
Name: Baozhong Oolong Tea
Brand: unsure, vendor: Tao of Tea
Type: oolong
Loose leaf
Notes:
Tea Guy made a point of telling us that the leaves of this particular tea did not come rolled. It is pretty common for loose leaf oolong tea leaves to be individually rolled up tightly, which expand as the tea steeps. This was the only tea we tried at the May tea tasting that was from Taiwan. It was also at the lightest end of the roasting scale an oolong tea can be, making it closer to a green tea. The leaves themselves before bring brewed had a fruity scent. The tea was a light honey color, with a light perfumy taste with a little bit of a bitter aftertaste.
