About Pinglin and the Wen Shan Region

Pinglin sits in the mountains of northern Taiwan, where cool temperatures and persistent morning fog create perfect conditions for growing tea. The mist rolls through the valleys most mornings, slowing down the growth of the tea plants and giving the leaves time to develop more nuanced flavors. It's this unique microclimate that makes Wen Shan tea so special.

Tea farmers here have been perfecting their craft for generations, and it shows. The area is particularly famous for Bao Zhong, which has become synonymous with quality Taiwanese tea.

What is Bao Zhong?

Bao Zhong (sometimes spelled Pouchong) is a lightly oxidized oolong—usually only about 8-12% oxidized. This puts it somewhere between a green tea and a traditional oolong, giving you the freshness of green tea with a bit more complexity. The name "Bao Zhong" means "wrapped in paper," which refers to how tea makers used to wrap the leaves in paper during processing to protect them and preserve their delicate aromas.

What really sets Wen Shan Bao Zhong apart is how floral it is. We're talking serious floral notes—orchid, jasmine, sometimes gardenia—without any added flowers. It's all natural, coming from the tea leaves themselves and the careful processing they receive.

What to Expect

The dry leaves are a beautiful jade green, twisted and somewhat wiry. When you brew them, they unfurl into full leaves with a lovely fresh aroma that fills the room.

The tea itself is light-bodied and smooth, with a natural sweetness and those distinctive floral notes. There's no astringency or bitterness—just a clean, refreshing cup with a sweet aftertaste that lingers. It's the kind of tea that makes you want to sit quietly and just enjoy it.

How to Brew It

This tea is pretty forgiving, but here's what works well:

  • Use water around 85-90°C (not quite boiling)
  • Start with about 6 grams per 100ml of water
  • Steep for 1 minute on the first infusion
  • Second infusion: 20 seconds
  • Third infusion: 35 seconds
  • Fourth infusion: 50 seconds
  • You can easily get 4-5 infusions from the same leaves, and each one will be a bit different

Who Would Love This Tea

If you enjoy lighter, more delicate teas with floral character, this is for you. It's also great if you're curious about Taiwanese oolongs but find some of the roasted varieties too intense. And if you're someone who appreciates the story and tradition behind your tea, Wen Shan Bao Zhong has plenty of both.

Great purchase
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
I've had my Circle Joy Frother since May 11th, and I've have used it every day. It's the best frother I've ever ordered or owned. It's powerful, works great and it's rechargeable, no batteries to buy for this one. I'll buy this one again if or when it stops working. I'm very satisfied.

Game Changer for Coffee Lovers
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
I purchased the Circle Joy Rechargeable frother mostly because of the price. The frothy-whipped cream is a treat on the weekends, and the last hand frother I purchased zapped out. WoW - this one is amazing! The last one I had was battery operated, and wasn't as fast as this one. I now use it everyday because it works so quickly. It comes with a "lid" for the blender part, so I can toss in my briefcase. Love that recharges quickly so its ready when I am. Great price, easy to use, looks sleek, and tiny enough to take with you. LOVE, FiVE Stars

Great for short term
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
Works great when it works.... But I've bought three this year and two of them just unexpectedly died with no logical reason. Giving up and trying a new brand for my protein coffee drinks. *Edit....after original review the seller offered a refund and apologized for the issues I had. Bumping up my rating for proactive customer service and trying to make things right.

Great buy!
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
Great product. I'm glad I bought this to replace my old, cheap one that I got from Ikea. I like that it has double whisk as it does froth my liquids really well. I like the speed of it and it's easy to use and wash. The battery life is pretty long as well. I haven't charged it since I got it.

Pretty darn good frother...
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
This is a pretty darn good frother/whisk, which we use primarily for mixing Crystal Light and LMNT drinks. It holds a charge for a long time and it is easy to recharge with the USB-C port and cable. My only complaint is that you must hold the power button continuously while operating it which is challenging to do using tall cups. It would be much better if is was a two stage on-off switch and had a longer wand, which isn't as long as it could be. But the unit is lightweight, easy to use and very versatile. Overall, I would buy it again.
