Oo-long: "Sorg Bor Charng Ching Tea"

Mar 15, 2005 3 Replies

Has anyone heard of this tea? It's a Taiwan oo-long given to my mom by a Taiwanese. It got second place at the 91st tea convention (says on the tin)



I think the name is Taiwanese pronunciation... if anyone can read Chinese here, it's "?????"



The leaves are in a pearl shape and doesn't have a very strong smell.

Can you post the pinyin equivilant in Mandarian? I know 'ching' as being like a blue/green color....as for the rest of it, I can't recognize the other words. At least can you put it in Cantonese?

Sorg=Song (Pine) Borºi(Cypress) Charng=Chang Ching=Qing "Chang Qing" (literally, evergreen)

It is said that the name was given by the late Taiwanese president Chiang Ching-Kuo.

I am also looking to find this tea. I had it once and it is lovely.
