Jim,

If I am not mistaken, "Formosa Oolong" refers to that specific honey sweet
style enjoyed by man and leaf hopper alike, and is rather heavily oxidized.
Jade Pouchong would be another type of Taiwanese Oolong entirely. It's all a
matter of obfuscating language, that confuses more than it clarifies.
