Banten Baozhong Green is an oolong that is so lightly oxidized, it resembles a green tea. Sweet, vegetal, and softly creamy flavors, with the clean mineral notes that characterize many of Indonesia's teas. Banten Baozhong Green serves well as a replacement for finicky, bitter green teas while keeping with the green tea flavors. The tea is very easy to brew, with very little dryness or astringency. Grown on an all-natural farm in the Halimun Mountains, located near Gunung Halimun-Salak National Park. PT Harendong's team uses all-natural methods to grow their teas, and they are are certified organic by IMO International according to EU, USDA/NOP, JAS and COR standards.
