Taiwan’s ShiDing county is famous for Baozhong and the 2015 Spring harvest was especially good. This “ying xiang” baozhong 石碇迎香包種 is a fantastic specimen of Taiwan’s new tea cultivar #20, grown at an elevation of 800m. Enjoy the sweet buttery “nai xiang” aroma with a hint of cut grass and flowers. The aroma carries through to the flavor, with a slight umami note playing counterpoint to sweet grass and dry wheat. This tea is pleasantly thick and creamy, with a tongue & throat coating huigan. On later infusions, a honeysuckle note becomes more pronounced. An impressive performer for just $20. We recommend you compare it against our 2015 Spring Wenshan wild rougui baozhong.
