Pouchong is a very lightly oxidized tea, falling midway between the green teas and the Oolongs, although it is usually classified as an Oolong. It is one of Taiwan's most popular teas, produced mainly in Pinglin, near the capital Taipei. Pouchong Oolong is usually grown at altitudes of four hundred feet or higher. At these heights, the tea leaves grow very slowly, producing richer and more complex flavours. In Chinese, the name Pouchong means "the wrapped sort (of tea)," a name acquired from the practice of selling this tea wrapped in paper packages.

 At its best,  Pouchong has a beautiful floral and melon fragrance and a mild taste, both rich and thick. It is also known by such poetic names as "morning dew fragrance" and "spring mist."
