Default Dragon Eye Oolong - you know, from PF Changs. Anyone know a good loose substitute?

I do not know who else has had this plastic mesh tea bag at PF
Changs...but I thought it was pretty good. But at $12 for 15 bags, it
is a little pricey. Anyone know of a good substitute like maybe from
Upton's?

looking for,

Hey Ozzy,

I think he was actually asking about the tea itself, not the
infuser/bags. PF Chang's Dragon Eye Oolong tea. I have to admit I have
never tried it, PF Changs is far away from my house and fairly pricey
so I go with smaller local places, but a web search turned this up:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ance&n=3370831

It appears to be readily available online for varying prices, that link
above is like $12 at Amazon... but if you do a google search for
"Dragon eye oolong" you will find many hits. It is made by T-Pot
Revolution, and comes in nylon mesh bags.

The description from another site: This smooth, well-rounded elixir
blends smoky Chinese oolong with safflower, peach and apricot.

Sounds like it would be pretty good, and unlike anything you could get
elsewhere due to the flavors. I'll have to give it a try.

That's what I get for answering a post when half my brain's still
sleeping.

If you are looking for the China black scented with logan fruit, I would
suggest In Pursuit of Tea's Dragon Eyes. I don't normally go for
scented or flavored tea (I bought it for my boyfriend), but I do like
this one iced.

My brain has been in a perpetual sleep state lately, so fully
understood. If it wasn't for my Nintendo DS Lite and "Brain Age" I have
a feeling I'd be an idiot in about a week.

But speaking of infusers, I really like my People's Brew Basket. They
are cheap at ~$3 and long lasting and cleanable. It fits in most mugs
and smaller teapots, and I made an adapter ring to allow it to work in
bigger pots.
