Pouchong/Bao Zhong
snip snip
[Jim]
Us insiders call green oolongs, Pouchongs which is a
specialty of Taiwan.

Jim, as an outsider by nature, I feel free to say
that Pouchong (Bao Zhong) is not another name
for green Oolong, but rather a special category of
even greener Oolong, nearly always created in long
twisty form rather than fisted, and of a particular
jade color and melon soft taste and aroma. I have
seen them produced at a higher roast, but these are
to my mind far from true. Unless I have this all
wrong.
