Roy Fong on the Imperial Tea Court Oolong web page shows an "old bush
oolong," which he claims has the most "pronounced honey-peachiness we have
ever tasted," among other glowing comments. I'd be curious as to just how
old these ten trees are. Web page URL:

Be it as it may, I have an ounce of it here and will give it a shot before
long.

Picked by monkeys beyond a shadow of a doubt. We do after all train them to
assist people who can't leave chair or bed. They can retrieve any number of
things by name. You could use dogs I suppose, but they'd look so stupid
climbing the trees.
