I have found very little (none, actually) reference to Guan Yin Wong, a high mountain Oolong that is considered a 'step up' from Tie Guan Yin in Guangxi where I hang. I've tasted it and it's almost like a cross between Tie Guan Yin and a green tea.
Am I the only person who has experienced this tea? Thanks for the input.

Rishi's Qi Lan is awesome, but thats the only oolong I get from them. Jing's tea shop has a good selection, you might try them. I recently got a bunch of samples from Aura teas and have enjoyed every one. You can start out with adagios too. I recommend the Wuyi Ensemble, Pouchong, and one from Taiwan, go for the #40.
Good luck!

I highly recommend Jing Tea Shop for their wuyi yancha and their TGY. Teacuppa also has high quality wuyi, I'd try them too.

I only care about taiwanese high mountain oolongs, can you start your classification there?

I thought that darker TGY is fired tea of which I rarely see. I have tasted a sample of it but it was very oily and tasted more burnt and rubbery.
Don't always believe what you think!
