Not sure I’ve ever sampled a baozhong before, but reading up on the variety, “fragrant” seems to be the common denominator, and it was. Very flowery scent, which I was afraid would be far too strong in the cup, but not so much. It was smooth, understated, and slightly sweetly grassy. Sitting in my sunny spot with the cup was a nice substitute for actual spring.
