There is an old saying that goes for Taiwanese Oolong ─ "North Baozhong, South Dong Ding," which indicates the representation of Taiwanese Oolong teas from different regions. For classical southern Oolong, it is Dong Ding; but for classical northern Oolong, it will be Baozhong. That is the prominence Baozhong has in the world of oolong.
 
With very low oxidation and light rolling, Baozhong can be likened to green tea yet isn't. With a bit of oxidation Baozhong is able to create a floral aroma that isn't found in green tea.

It not only contains that taste of green bean cake, but also the touch of Ginger Lily. The slight bitterness will instantly complete the body of the tea with its mellowness at the end. At the very end everything will turned into a cool feeling that feels quite apple-ish.
