Six Harmonies Oolong

by shen » Feb 21st, '07, 20:57

I just bought a delightful very dark oolong in Chinatown which was called "Six Harmonies". It is slightly sweet with fruity and floral overtones and teeney-weeney yellow seeds (but, not osmanthus).
Has anyone heard of this tea or ever tasted it? Does anyone know what it is?
I know that often the six ordinances in Buddhism are called "six harmonies" and there are six harmonies pagoda and temple in Huangzhong; as well as a tea plantation. However, that plantation only grows longjing (green), as far as I know.
Help?!
