About This Video
Today we look at two very different Oolong teas. First up is Formosa Wenshan Baochong Choice by AuraTeas and then Tankha Oolong from The Simple Leaf. Both have their own special taste, but which is more oolong and, more importantly, which is better?
Special Note: The Formosa Wenshan Baochong Choice is AuraTea's current tea of the month.
