Above is my description of Baozhong oolong.
I didn't read anything about it before I tried it.
Here is another
opinion
Some similarities?
I made two cups of oolong yesterday. One after another.
Baozhong and Pouchong.
Pouchong tastes similar, only 1/4 of the floral taste though. Which makes it an inferior tea. I don't think it is due to the name difference, because they say these are two names of the same tea. Most likely different sources (not the shops but the original sources) of tea.
Then I compared tea leaves after brewing. They look different. To be precise their colours. Baozhong has green, deep green leaves, while Pouchong has dirty green, or green with a bit of brownish touch. It is like taking Baozhong deep green leaves and spray light brown mud on them.
