had this at whole foods market,
it was called "organic" "wuyi oolong"
i think its from rishi tea because ipot doesnt have wuyi oolongshttp://www.rishi-tea.com/store/product.php?productid=5028&cat=23&page=1
and the flavor was new to me:
a _deep_ smooth/silky/satin feeling, pretty long lasting,
the astringency (not much) had notes of chocolate,
there was some minor roasted flavor,
couldnt find any green feel in this tea.
the leaf was about 1 cm cuts, mostly dark green mixed with brown
the only wuyi i had was a very roasted boring 1 flavor = roasted
charcoal,
so i am very intrigued by this new taste!
do you know what this "wuyi" would equate to in other stores?

I thought the site says it is called Qilan?
There are thousands of varieties of Wuyi species ...
Looking at the price, this one will probably come from Wuyi Mt
borderland rather than Wuyi Mt itself.
No doubt it can still call itself Wuyi, and it probably is organic,
but to imply it grows from cliff is misleading.
