Steeped in history and tradition, Wenshan Pouchong Tea represents the pinnacle of Taiwan’s lightly fermented oolongs. Originating in the Wenshan District, this tea’s story begins in 1881 when the innovative Pouchong production method was introduced by Wu Fulao, evolving over decades to the refined craft we know today. The tea owes its name to its traditional wrapping process, where leaves were enclosed in square Chinese writing paper, giving rise to the term “pouchong,” meaning “wrapped chong.”

Crafted using the Chin-Shin-Oolong cultivar or TTES No.12, Wenshan Pouchong is celebrated for its strip-shaped leaves and focus on fragrance. Produced in the lush tea-growing regions of New Taipei City and Taipei City, it embodies Taiwan’s legacy of excellence in oolong tea.
