I thought Baozhong is the same as Pouchong. Please inform me if I'm wrong.

Chalk up another one for Ali Shan, although last winter the Shan Lin that I got was better than the Ali Shan... don't know if it was the year or just the batch :)

Anyway, I also like Dung Ding oolong now and then for a nuttier flavor... and sometimes I really enjoy the stronger lilac aroma of random TiGuanYins that I run across for less money from China.

But I love just about any high mountain oolong :)

Shan Lin Xi teas are some of the best from Taiwan, I think. This and Li Shan's are the pinnacle for gaoshan teas. Love them! :D

Tenuki's subtle humor is lost in translation. :)
Yes, the same.
