This lightly oxidised, twisted-leaf Bao Zhong oolong made from the rare #2028 cultivar offers creamy sweetness and wildflower notes.
Crafted by the Feng family, a fourth-generation tea family in Pinglin, Taiwan.
Tea cultivar #2028 was developed by Taiwan’s Tea Research and Extension Station but was never officially released due to internal politics. Some farmers, including the Feng family, obtained plants of the cultivar and began growing it in more organic, smaller-scale contexts.
Known for its strong resistance to pests and disease, #2028 thrives without the need for chemical inputs, making it ideal for more natural cultivation.
With only a handful of producers growing it, this rare cultivar inspired the name ‘Hidden Treasure'.
