Pouchong (Bao Zhong)

Team Tea

£2.75

A very gently oxidised oolong from the Wen Shan region of Taiwan. Pouchong is the Cantonese name, and Bao Zhong the Mandarin, and the name means ‘wrapped kind’ because traditionally the tea leaves were wrapped in small parcels made from 2 pieces of paper and closed with the maker’s seal and name. An elegant tea, the sun withering and short oxidation result in a tea that is refreshing, floral and gently sweet. This tea is best brewed over multiple short infusions. Ingredients || Premium Pouchong Tea Warning, p acked in an environment that contains nuts Caffeine || Yes Tasting Notes || R efreshi

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as TEAM TEA LTD, number 11054295. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
