Formosa Pouchong Customer Reviews

Taiwanese pouchong is the most lightly oxidized of all oolongs. Inviting sugary-floral nose from the emerald leaves, yielding pale golden liquor with a soft, melting butter texture. Uplifting honeysuckle aroma lingers on long after the last sip.

★★★★☆

The appearance of the tea is certainly a cut above your basic green oolong – the leaves are beautiful jade-green twists that unfurl into large, whole leaves. The first steep is quite light with a very faint lilac scent with much of the same daintily-sweet floral quality to it.

The second steeping (@ 2:30) is fuller but it retains that floral quality without tasting or smelling like a cup of perfume. It’s still quite a ‘light’ tea compared to other oolongs that I’ve tasted and it feels quite smooth and clean in the mouth with no unpleasent aftertastes.

Light, buttery and a great tea that is good for multiple steeps.

I didn't find anything too special about this particular oolong. It tastes and looks similar to ali shan, in my opinion. Still a good tea, but I don't know about for the extra price.

Light, buttery and full of tea flavor. No real exceptional notes, or hard to pin down flavors, just mellow, excellent taste.
