A friend of mine from school recently returned from a trip to Taiwan to visit his relatives. He brought back a 4 oz (guess) bag of formosa oolong to give to me since his uncle is in the tea trading business.
This is the first oolong that I have ever tried, and it is fantastic!!! The taste resembles that of green without that vegetal taste that most greens have (althout I don't mind that taste).
So I really just want to urge all tea drinkers out there that haven't tried oolong before...formosa oolong from Taiwan is a great place to start.

Yap. i agreed with TeaFanatic.
Formosa oolong is really different in taste and in look also. Some people love it but others don't. its a matter of personal preferences of the taste. You will never know until you give it a try.

My supply has almost been depleted...and I know that there are plenty of stores that sell a formosa oolong, but has anyone found a really good one at any sites. Is adagio's really good? Upton? I want to find a good replacement until my friend goes back to Taiwan.
