What is Baozhong Tea?
Baozhong is also known as ‘green oolong tea’ due to its oceanic and mild grassy aroma, similar to green tea. As it does not undergo any roasting process, it is often considered similar to oolong tea. This tea is preferred by Jasmine tea drinkers for its floral aroma and characteristics. In terms of taste, this tea has a distinct flavor that is creamy, intense, bittersweet, and offers melon and flowery undernotes. Its flavor is closer to oolong tea but offers lesser infusions. Unlike oolong tea which requires higher altitudes and cool air for better growth, Baozhong is grown in lower altitude areas. Despite its strong aroma, this tea is best for daily tea drinkers.
Caffeine Content
Due to its oolong tea characteristics, it contains moderate levels of caffeine. These levels vary depending on harvesting, processing, and steep time. The caffeine content in Baozhong is less than oolong tea.
