Hello,
Been out of commission for a bit and wondering how are things in the
oolong world? Whats is new and yummy at this warm fall time of the
year? And if you have tried something really grand, where did you get
it, and is the price and shipping time reasonable? Thanks for all your
input.

I have been working through the greens I just recently ordered from
Teaspring, but I have three Oolong's waiting in the wings. Shui Xian,
Feng Huang Dan Cong, and Song Zhong Dan Cong. All kind of standards,
but who knows maybe something will be a standout. I'll be working
through them this weekend and into next week. All of them are very
reasonably priced.

I bought some Huang Zhi Xiang from Seven Cups (http://sevencups.com/
catalog/Oolong-Tea-price0-p-1-c-273.html) over a year ago and just
rediscovered it, so it's new to me! (Okay, I went a little overboard
after taking a series of tea classes.) I don't know all of the proper
tea-tasting vocabulary, but I really enjoyed it!

I've settled on my blacks for the time being and am also working
through greens. But I have a Tie-Guan-Yin on the shelf in case I have
a sudden need for the Goddess. Upton's cheapest, since apparently
oolong doesn't come in organic. Toci

I take it back- it's second grade Tie-Guan-Yin but they have a
season's pick that is even cheaper. They both have good reviews.

This year's Wulong didn't yield such great results for numerous
excuses. The market has switched it's attention to Pu'er, and I think
this is one of the main reasons.

Long, narrow leaves and startlingly lemony taste?

Well guys, I ordered some oolongs, a red robe, some anxi oolong, and
still looking for a bao hao... I am looking for that rich velvet
smooth floral or maybe a deep fruity flavor that I remeber from the
oolongs.
Hopefully will have a good report to make. Any more talk about oolongs
will be anxiously awaited with baited breath.
Hey, when you guys read about the flavors and all things good from tea
do you just want it, want it, till you procure it?
I am too guily of this unfortunately for my pocketbook

I enjoy sharing my teas with others. I seldom drink myself and use it
as an excuse for a social gathering here in China. I think it's the
only way to enjoy tea.

i like teacuppa.com rougui wuyi oolong 2007. they have a cheap da ye
wu yi oolong that i just recently got at very cheap price. will have
to wait to taste the tea. but generally i love their wuyi oolong and
their oreintal beauty oolong tea.

Lew,

Long, narrow leaves: yes. Startlingly lemony taste: not the
description that comes to mind. But, I'll go make a cup and let you
know!

My tastebuds could use some training. There is a lemony taste which I
couldn't pin down before you mentioned it, but now I can pick it out.

Are you saying that you seldom drink tea?

Oops. It wasn't tea that I was drinking when I typed that unclear
message, I think.

I meant, I seldom drink tea by myself. I like to share my finds with
friends.
