Eastrise Orchid Oolong

At a very good, local Chinese restaurant I was served Eastrise Orchid
Oolong with my meal.
I discovered the name of the vendor with some gentle prodding; but,
have been unable to find this tea retail.
This was a very subtle orchid oolong, no visible flowers and very
delicate. The scent overtone took a background place in what seemed to
be a tasty Dan Chong.
Does anyone know where to buy this tea retail? I am assuming this tea
is inexpensive, since it is an option in a Bay Area restaurant -
although, it was $4.00 a pot.
Any info is much appreciated.
Xie! Xie!

Hey Shen,
Sorry that I can't help with that particular tea, I know how it feels
to have an amazing tea and then find there is either no more of it
available or worse yet not be able to track it down. The closest tea
to what you describe that I could point you to would be Teaspring's
Song Zhong Dan Chong. It has a very subtle orchid note, but very
present, and stands right with the actual Dan Chong just as you state.
Maybe it will offer a reasonable analog? Best of luck in your quest!
