Smooth Water Baozhong 2026 Spring
Available 11am (PST), 5/15/26
This tea is soft and comforting, smooth as velvet and deeply refreshing. Broth color is a soft jade, and is overflowing with aromatic tones of honeysuckle and fresh snappy beans. The evaporating scent on the bottom of the empty cup is even more complex, giving an image of a dewy garden in Spring full of fresh flowers.
The tea also has reach, providing an open and relaxed feeling in the throat after the swallow and a clear headed floral aroma behind the eyes. Feels gentle and caressing all the way to the belly.
This tea is from Pinglin, but we decided that even so it deserved to inherit the name of Smooth Water Baozhong. Although it is a spiritual successor of our old favorite, I think it actually surpasses the original Smooth Water for both depth and staying power. I was able to easily get five infusions out of this tea, and could probably go for more when I don't have the time constraints of writing tea descriptions looming. This is all due to the immaculate, sustainable tea garden management employed by this farmer. These are healthy, strong plants that, when combined with expert, painstaking processing are able to go beyond what the market has been primed to expect from Baozhong. We feel blessed to be able to carry teas like this.
