The Spring Pouchong Tea blend from English Tea Store is fresh and lively with a light astringent finish.
Coming from one of the most beautiful tea producing places in the world, Spring Pouchong comes from Pinglin Township in Taiwan. The water supply to Pinglin comes from one of the most pristine waterways, while the area is surrounded by thick forests. The town is only accessible by one tiny road, which is lined on both sides by small workshops where the Pouchong is produced and packed. Tea season brings the entire town to life as their teas have made the town famous.
Pouchong comes from special bushes that grow on only a few tracts of land around the town. After plucking, the leaves are only allowed to oxidize for a limited amount of time before they are wrapped in paper and dried. Spring Pouchong is processed entirely by hand in the same manner it has been for 5 generations. This delivers one of the world’s most exceptional teas, with fragrances of flowers and melon, and a rich, yet mild cup.
For the best brew, Spring Pouchong should steep in water has been brought to a light boil (165-190° F) for 1-3 minutes.
