I recently went to a couple of Asian markets in the area to check out
some
teas. Most of what I got wasn't to spectacular. I bought some Foo
Joy

FooJoy is the quintessential Chinese commercial brand. The first step
to
understanding Chinese tea starts here. While a tisane I never go
anywhere
without their Dim Sum Herbal when seeking to eat likewise. I also
recommend
their Vintage Oolong as a precursor to pu-erh.

You mean it's already aged? Or is it somehow especially suitable for
aging?

I understand that in the Indian Darjeeling region, "vintage" tea refers to
tea made from the leaves of older, vintage plants (possibly from very old
strains, or from the actual very old plants?). I wonder whether this is
ever done in China?
