Does any one here buy oolong in bings? Does some oolong get better with age like puerh?

I've never bought an oolong in bings or beengs, but I have tasted some aged oolongs, and while I didn't enjoy their flavor enough to pay the extra price, there was a tart, winey, fruitiness that was very nice in both some aged TGY and Da Hong Pao. I've seen aged versions of traditional darker roast oolongs--Wuyis, TGY, and Dan Congs--but the lighter green floral styles don't age well.

I had a bing of wuyi from teaspring a few years ago which was ok, I think I've finished it now, or gave the rest of it away. Nothing outstanding but gave a decent wuyi hit as you'd expect from $10 or so for a fairly small cake.

Hou de has a nice 70's oolong tuo, lovely medicinal flavours and has quite a bit of endurance.

I've tried several of Hou De's aged oolongs and was quite impressed with them. I don't buy them very often and I don't drink them daily, but sometimes I do feel like them especially in the winter. The 1994 aged Zheng-Cong Tie Guan Yin comes to mind as one of the more impressive ones.

Bing–noun- British Dialect- a heap or pile.

Is this what you mean by a "bing of tea"? Wow, you learn something new everyday, and I thought Bing was a search engine lol.
