Pouchong oolong tea from Adagio Teas consists of large leaves that once steeped produces a nice, clean delicate taste. A few tips however...
First, even though the tin instructs to brew for five minutes, I feel that only 3 to 3 1/2 minutes is perfect. Although you can only get two good infusions out of this variety anyway, it has a very subtle body and overall character. It is a great model example of what a Taiwanese oolong tea should represent.
Mild floral notes with just a hint of sweet grassiness that lingers on the palate for a few seconds before tapering off down the esophagus is what you can expect. The tea is not overpowering and if any oolong tea from Adagio should be bought in a larger size...pouchong would probably be on that list.
Funny thing is...currently it is the lowest rated on the site (score of 4.2). A large percentage of folks like it, but they just give it an average rating.
