An overview of the main teas I encounter.
Note many teas may be produced in multiple provinces. eg. Oolong Taiwan / FuJian. I acquire Tie Guan Yin produced in FuJian, from 3 separate, family owned , tea farms (Mrs Yang, Li Hong and Da Sha) High Mountain Oolong from various locations in Taiwan.

Greetings from Poland!
I simply love your blog, sir! It is both informative and enjoyable. I am addicted to Taiwanese oolongs and just can't wait to go to Taiwan and see for myself how the tea is brewed there.
Would you be so kind as to answer the following question: is the so- called pouchong tea really popular in Taiwan?
Sincerely,
Paul
PS: Please keep on writing this blog!
Hi Paul, You will have a great time in Taiwan, I sure of it. PouChong / Bao Zhong, its common in Taiwan to use this term for most Oolong teas. Yes "Formosa/Taiwan High Mountain" Oolong is very popular in Taiwan and with Taiwanese in mainland China. regards john
