Mongolia | Taiwan Tea | Bao Zhong Oolong
I am thrilled to report that the Spring Crop of Bao Zhong Oolong Tea from Taiwan is now available! My shipment of the first picking of the year arrived two days ago and after sampling it I am ready to announce that the 2009 Spring Crop is equal to if not better than the 2008 crop, which as most of you probably know was a bumper year for Bao Zhong.Bao Zhong tea is a very Lightly Oxidized Oolong Tea, right on the cusp between green tea and oolong tea. Many people who try it think that it is indeed a green tea, although it is slightly oxidized, making it an oolong tea. In any case, with the arrival of the new crop of Bao Zhong can the First Appearance of a Wild Flower here in Zaisan Tolgoi be far behind? These are exciting times we are living in!
