Joanne,
I am also a big fan of light, "green' oolongs. They're my favorite style, I
think.
Some days I think IPOT's Nantou oolong can't be beat. I have a fresh bag from
them which I havne't opened yet.
I have had two special oolongs -- 03 winter and 04 spring -- from Ten Ren and
found them adequate but lacking charm, no fruit or flower, rather "hard" and
flinty, difficult to warm up to.
Had a light oolong from David Lee Hoffman a couple or years ago; that specific
one didn't ring my chimes. Michael P is getting some new fancy primo samples
from David soon, so Michael may have more info for you.
So I am in limbo...I'm drinking up my Ten Ren supply and what's left of a very
good Wulong from Big Apple Tea House in NYC. Good to hear of Michael's
recommendation of Tea Centre; maybe I'll get in touch with them.
Always interested in good leads from you, as well.
Joe Kubera
