Pouchong is from Taiwan, using the Chinsing cultivar.This is a greenish Oolong - partially oxidized (around 10%) and this takes away the "grass" taste that some drinkers do not like in green tea. Also the infusion is very smooth.
More expensive than many teas but it has the advantage that you can get at least 3 infusions that makes it much cheaper by the cup

English Tealeaves sells over 125 high quality teas that are "cherry picked" from over 15 suppliers who specialize in specific types and countries. This gives us the flexibility to find the best of the best. We also blend around 8 teas ourselves that can't be obtained to our standards. For example our #1 selling tea, English Breakfast is our own blend that we created in 2002.
Our Cafe customers give feedback and we discontinue the ones that get poor ratings. We also look to improve our teas and will replace a standard tea, like say Mango, with a higher quality blend from another supplier.
The teas are selected after evaluation in these seven areas and then the scores are weighted to decide if they qualify for inclusion in our range:
• Dry leaves appearance
• Dry aroma
• Brewed Infusion Color
• Aroma brewed
• Hot taste
• Iced taste
• After taste
