Jim, IMHE pouchong is quite different. It sports twisty long
beautiful green leaves, and brews a different taste that I call
cucumber flower because it differs considerably from Jade
Oolong, which I don't like quite as much. Too much florisity.
Have to admit though that pouchong is iffy. Sometimes it's
wonderful, and sometimes not.
