There are lots of sources, but don't forget that this tea is also
transliterated as Baozhong.

Shan Shui Teas is right up there.
In Pursuit of Tea's entry is usually excellent.
The Fragrant Leaf also offers one, and I've drunk it, and it's worth trying.

It probably won't do you much good but two Taiwan commercial companies
with excellent products on the shelves are Hsin Tung Yang and Good
Young. Ebay has a couple of sellers from Taiwan. Other commercial key
words which are more pouchong than oolong are Dong Ding, A-Li-Son and
Nan-Tou. Sometimes you'll see green jade oolong which is pouchong.
Look for the websites that break out Taiwan teas into their own
section.

In Pursuit of Tea usually has a beautiful Baozhong they call Wen Shan
Baozhong, but I haven't tried it recently enough to be sure about
recommending what they have in stock now.

Since you are in Philadelphia, I would suggest trying the House of
tea.

Ten Ren has a decent Taiwan-grown pouchong. They will do mail order,
or you can go to their shop in NYC.
