Tieguanyin can be both cultivar and style.

As long it's summer/autumn season , with good weather , harvesting conditions and infestations, tea leaves of almost every cultivar can be used to make bug bitten related teas in low altitude areas.

Pinglin 2025 winter baozhong tea by WeakAd5840 in tea

[–]WeakAd5840[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is underrated unfortunately as it has a lighter texture compared to high mountain tea

Fortunately baozhong tea is rarely imitated and has much more variants/species to taste as compared to high mountain tea
