Hi Ulf,

The brand as Sasha has pointed out is Tian Fu (Ming Cha just means tea, or
what the shop specialises in). Tian Fu is a China subsidiary of Ten Ren, so
you may want to try TenRen's online store www.TenRen.com. Or you may know
of one in your area.

Or, just click on www.tenfu.com !

:") Have fun shopping!

BTW, it's a green tea, not oolong. Sorry, but mothers aren't always
right... :"P

Dear Tea Experts,

My Mother brought some fantastic Jasmine flavored green pearl tea and also
a
bag of a green rolled tea that she said it was an Oolong. It was very good
and I like to know what it is and where I can find something similar here
in
the states. I uploaded some images of the bag at my web site:

I can't find any Oolong tea shaped like this on any of the sites I looked
at
but I am no expert in tea even if I been drinking tea the last 30 years
growing up in Sweden. I have come to the realization after tasting these
two
that there is someting worth learing about. I ordered a bunch of samples
from https://www.specialteas.com that I hope will help me get some basic
understanding. I use to buy english style teas and also various flower and
fruit flavored black teas in Sweden from local tea shops and grocery
stores.
Until now I been buying over there whenever I got a chance. I also have
had
people bring tea when visiting since there is nothing I can find in the
supermarkets here in the Hartford, CT area and I don't know of any local
tea
shop. I am really looking forward to the shippment. I might need to get a
Gaiwan to acompony my old Bodum glass teapot and my clip/ball infusers.


Thanks for your help,

Ulf
