In Chinatown you can find boxes of Xiamen Wuyi Rock Tea Lao Tsung Shui
Hsien $4/30g. That is the high grade versus their Xiamen Sea Dyke Shu
Xian $4/125g which is a little less rocky. I've never seen an YiWu
narcissus.

PS I just saw that Snapple EGCG green tea commercial again. In the
background are rock tea trees in the crevices of the cliffs. You'd
need a monkey to get at those or an inverted cherry picker. I only buy
Chinese teas from sites that can send me the characters. The last
vendor sent them in an Excel spreadsheet which I don't have installed.
I told him how to dump his spreadsheet in an HTM file and send me that
which worked. I'm going to try their version of a wild bitter tea
called TianShan LuShui. This is my first foray into a shopping cart
versus Ebay auctions but they do take PayPal.
