Default Ten Ren? Is it good tea?

That's probably their King's tea with the large numerals. Look at the
TenRen site and you'll see the corresponding description with the
number. The reason I haven't bought any is because it is behind the
counter with the TCM medicines and expensive and by definition made up
your mind to buy before asking to see the item. Taiwan is it's own tea
producing region and comparing oolong taste to any other region is
apples and oranges. If somebody mentions floral I immediately think of
Taiwan.
