↑About Pouchong Tea
Pouchong tea was historically produced in Fujian, China; although it is still produced in mainland China, it is now widely produced in Taiwan, and most tea sold as pouchong originates in Taiwan. It is also frequently used in scented teas, such as with jasmine or rose. Some teas sold as scented green teas are closer to pouchong teas in overall character because the scenting process oxidizes the leaf slightly.
Pouchong leaves tend to have an intense green appearance. The brewed tea looks much like green tea, and has a light, vegetal and floral aroma, and tends to have less of an edge of bitterness and astringency than green tea. In many respects Pouchong is intermediate between green tea and jade oolong.

Grand Pouchong Oolong from Simon Lévelt

Dry leaf consists of long, intact wiry leaves with a slightly dusty look, and smells very different from any other pouchong I've tried, an intense smell of jam or fruit preserves, lik...
Very soothing tea. This reminds me a lot of a tea I've tried before, but I honestly can't figure out which one. It tastes, perhaps, similar to a good milky oolong, even though that's a different kind?
Silky and slightly floral, no bitterness--a great tea for sipping while relaxing. I'll update the value rating afte...
The aroma is intensely floral, hello notes of hyacinth, orchids, and a mellow finish of chestnuts. It is like flower nectar and mild, sweet, nuts, the aroma overall is fairly mild while also being heady.
First steep starts out pretty mild, and finishes pretty mild, it is a super mellow tea without much of a presence...
If my heaven could exist in a teacup, I think I may have found it here.
I thought this tea was phenomenal. The silky smooth mouthfeel and the orchid, honeysuckle. and vegetal tones were to. die. for. I don't think I could get enough!
This tea lasts for multiple infusions; the first is by far the best, but I th...
