Pouchong tea is a very lightly oxidized and unroasted oolong that is closer to green in nature. It is produced in China and Taiwan and has twisted shaped leaves. Its name means 'the wrapped kind' which is in reference to the practice of wrapping the leaves in paper.
It is slightly bitter slightly grassy and very floral, if you have a higher quality tea. It is a delicate tea, however it produces consecutive steepings without rapidly diminishing.
The finest comes from Taiwan (specifically the Pinglin Township). It is harvested for a short time in the Spring. Another name for this tea is Bao Zhong.
