Also, the roasting itself can be either high-fire or low-fire (or in between).<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, the more roasted style is not that popular these days, especially in Mainland China. I think older people, and folks in HK and Taiwan like still do drink it, though.<BR/><BR/>I can recommend a few, both from places I visited recently on a trip to the Pacific NW.<BR/><BR/>First, Best Tea House (they have a branch in Canada) has some that are pretty reasonably priced; their "monkey picked" is bittersweet, a true "medium" roast IMO, and about 36 CAD or so for 100g (you can probably negotiate a slight discount on some of these prices). They have an "elegant queen" which is higher fire and more sweet / roasty. Then they have 2 higher grade ones of which I've tried at least one. Even the most expensive one is not too horribly expensive, and while I imagine it's mostly commercial grade tea, it's pretty consistent, and the roasting is well done IMO.<BR/><BR/>Their # is<BR/>604-232-1681<BR/>http://www.besttea.com.hk/eng/oolong_tea.htm<BR/>Michael (the owner, and brother-in-law of the owner of the HK shop) is the proprietor; he speaks pretty good English.<BR/><BR/>You should also try Josh @ J-tea in Eugene OR - he has some good roasted TGY at a variety of price levels (most of it Taiwan grown TGY rather than Anxi TGY). These days, it's harder to find good quality TGY from the mainland, probably because the greener stuff is so popular right now. Josh's prices are now a little lower than the ones listed on the site.<BR/>http://www.jteainternational.com/<BR/><BR/>His first prize winning roasted 2007 Mu Zha TGY is very nice. Whether it's worth the price is your call. I am sure he'd be willing to send you a sampler pack for a small amount of money.<BR/><BR/>You could also check out this aged '94 Taiwan TGY from Hou De, which I think is very nice, though it's a different flavor from a younger tea.<BR/>http://www.houdeasianart.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=50&products_id=906Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246418566389009505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7247865670730394030.post-27707563240233533492008-08-25T21:03:00.000-07:002008-08-25T21:03:00.000-07:00Great post, thanks.Great post, thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7247865670730394030.post-63751619953294414082008-08-18T12:03:00.000-07:002008-08-18T12:03:00.000-07:00Good review.
