Old Master Baozhong And Green Tea
2023 marks the 5th year in a row that we have been have been lucky enough to carry this wonderful tea. 2023’s pick is no different than any of the many years that we have been lucky enough to drink this legendary Baozhong. It is a spectacular mix of fresh grass, buttery floral and lingering sweet peach. There is a good reason that ‘connections’ are the only way to get this tea.
Made by Wang You Li, one of our favorite tea masters in Pinglin, this BaoZhong is deep, rich, sweet and full. Processed in the old style with all the perfections and imperfections intact, this is a connoisseur's tea. Every year, we are only able to get a small amount of the limited production run of this amazing tea. It is requested by so many that it is rationed. We are proud every year to be able to share with people outside of Taiwan!
This year we have again managed to get a small amount of green tea made from the same material as the Baozhong. It tastes amazingly similar to a Japanese Sencha, but with an unmistakably Taiwanese soul...
**This tea is produced in very small amounts and is released to the email list first.**
