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.

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.
