Pouchong = baozhong = 包种 (simplified characters) = traditional ie.
not high mountain Taiwanese oolong. Not tightly rolled, but long leaf
form like a Wuyi oolong. I don't think they are as roasted, but I
don't actually know very much about them.
The character you posted is 清 (simplified) and means 'pure'. I don't
know why it would be on a tea package, but you might be confusing it
with 青 which means 'green' (really, blue-green) and is used to
describe lightly fermented teas like oolongs, certainly including
baozhong. They are pronounced the same - 'qing'.
*玉 is jade as in jade oolong, pronounced cuiyu. It's a cultivar,
so it could in theory be grown anywhere in Taiwan. It is totally
possible that baozhong style oolong could be made out of the jade
cultivar, although baozhong may also indicate the type of cultivar that
is used. We're in really confusing territory here though because most
people are not clear about the cultivar, just the style.
