When you start trying to score oolongs on street corners, that's when you'll
know you're in trouble.

I also love oolongs. I especially like Tieguanyin (plain). I'm finding that
as I get older I prefer teas without any additives like milk, lemon or sugar
except when they are 'English types' (any of the Twinings line) or
inexpensive supermarket brands (Lipton still makes me feel like I'm five and
safely bundled up in bed with my coloring books during a bout with a cold).
If I do feel sick and have Lipton, it has to be very hot with lots of lemon
and suger; ideally it has to be accompanied with cream of tomato soup and
bread that was buttered before being run under the broiler. Or toast with
softboiled egg cut up on it with salt, pepper and more byutter- nursery
food.

Sorry- not really a discussion of oolong, but it did bring back happy
memories.

Ohhhh, yeah. {Shudder} I'm there, dude.

Yeah, me too. Lately, I've been drinking that ginseng infused oolong that
Ten-Ren has. That's good too.

I've been drinking Ten Ren's Jasmine tea ice cold and without sweetening,
which has been very refreshing. It also helps keep me awake. i have a
feeling that by the end of the year, a quick look at my blood stream will
reval that it's half made of caffeine.

Hmm. Do you think Terence would have made a good Zen master?

I'd always considered oolong the ******* half-breed of teas and never wanted
to have anything to do with it but then I ordered 10 different samples from
Upton and thought what the hell and threw in "se chung oolong" with the
greens and the whites and it's my favorite! I just can't stop drinking this
stuff! Somebody help me!

No help required - oolongs are wonderful. Upton has a nice selection. Se Chung
is the least expensive, but it is still pretty good stuff - goes very nicely with
food. Try the Formosa Amber Oolong, the Oolong Finest Grade (Formosa),
and the Tie-Guan-Yin Oolong Imperial (China) for other modestly priced
Oolongs that are very good.

For the time being, I have even given up my nice black breakfast teas, like
Yunnans, in favor of Oolong. To twist a famous quote: "I love the smell of
Oolong in the morning."
