A beautiful tea for both green and oolong drinkers Review by teareviewblog.com

Rating

The liquor is a vibrant bright green that screams springtime. It looks light and refreshing, and has a clean mellow taste...There is also a subtle sweetness that keeps me coming back for another sip.

This tea feels soft and buttery on the tongue, and when you add in the light refreshing taste, it is a very pleasant experience. I love the depth that the roasty flavor adds to the overall vegetal sweetness.

I like the green of this oolong! Review by Amy in Southern California

Rating

This is a fine baozhong and a great value. It is all at once smooth and gentle and sweet with a gorgeous minty-green liquor. The stewed leaves are quite large and luscious. It is the green of this oolong that stands out for me while the roasted notes remain nicely in the background. I highly recommend this tea for everyday sipping! (Posted on 4/11/11)

Light and magical Review by Millepo

Rating

I bought this as a green tea and found it had the fragrance of an Oolong ad then read that this is what it is - it is very light, with a very slight magical perfume which is still present through the second cup. Very special. (Posted on 3/27/11)

A very decent and deceptive "gr-oolong" tea Review by Geoff at teaviews.com

Rating

"The liquor brewed to a sparkling, light green with a kelpy scent wafting from the cup steam. It’s flavor really reminded me of an oolong; Ti Guanyin particularly, thanks to its toastiness ... A very decent and deceptive “gr-oolong” tea."

I resisted trying a Pouchong (Baozhong…whatever) because I thought it was just another type of oolong. Turns out that in some circles – and according to the Almighty Wiki – it’s sometimes given its own classification; like yellow tea. Canton’s offering smelled like a grape-rich green tea, but tasted like a green-style oolong. The flavor was smoky, non-astringent, fruity, kelpy, and all-around decent. Quite a feat for a “gr-oolong”.

Lovely! Review by Nicola

Rating

This tea is gorgeous. It smells like a boquet of flowers, but in a nice, non-overpowering way. It's the best green tea I've tried yet. (Posted on 2/7/11)

Highly recommended! Review by Sophie at Teaviews

Rating

"This tea combines the floral and fruity qualities of a great oolong while paradoxically feeling green, without being vegetal. Farmer Xu sure knows what he’s doing! I could go on and on but you should just try it for yourself. Highly recommended!"

This is a really nice cup of tea! Review by Andrea

Rating

I ordered the award winning sampler pack and have been wowed by all the delicious teas. This is a very smooth, almost creamy, mildly sweet green, that would be easy to drink all day. (Posted on 9/29/10)

Fresh,delicious and improves with each infusion Review by Gilly

Rating

This is now my favourite all day long tea.. Apart from tasting fresh and delicious, it works out at incredibly good value because each infusion gets better so one pot can be topped up many times. It does not get bitter even if left to steep for a long time. (Posted on 6/19/10)

Pouchong green from Canton is among the best Pouchongs I’ve had Review by Jamie

Rating

I like green tea but it’s never the first tea I reach for. I generally oversteep it and then fight to get past the bitter taste of my own forgetfulness. A friend of mine swears by the bitterness of green, says that you don’t get the full benefit without oversteeping it…. erm I don’t know. He’s cool but always leaves me shaking my head, so misguided. So green tea is just okay for me unless it’s Pouchong.

Pouchong green from Canton is among the best Pouchongs I’ve had. It’s a triple threat when it comes to tea. It’s an antioxidant and an antimutagenic and it’s tasty all in one. The leaves are big, dark, and twisted just right (reminds me of another one of my friends hmm). The tea brews to a light golden yellow, almost clear, like liquid sunshine. I put stevia in the first brew (out of habit with greens) but found it was a bit much and it took away from the clean taste of the tea. Second steep, without stevia, brewed up just as clean and with a slight melon scent. Third steep was a bit longer (on purpose) and it still was smooth and almost clear.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Pouchong or who shy away from greens the way I do, this is one tea you must try. This is a high quality tea that will not disappoint.
