Default chinese green teas

Hi

I've been reading "The Chinese Art of Tea" which mentions several teas
which I've been unable to find in Western shops, both online and in
person. They a

Shih-Feng (Lion's Peak)
Pai-Yun (White Cloud)
Pao-Yun (Jewelled Cloud)
Shou-Mei (Old Man's Eyebrows)
Tze-Sun (Purple Sprout)
Hsieh-Tou (Snow Gorge)
Jin-Chu (Sun-Poured)
Ching-Cheng (Green City)
Meng-Ting (Hidden Peak)

Are these teas available with different names? (If so, is this because
their pinyin equivalents look quite different?) Help would be
appreciated. :-)

Tom
