HouDe for Taiwanese
Red Blossom for Chinese/WuYi (their golden buddha is fantastic)
But I have some local shops that are better...

http://www.just4tea.com/ has some great tie guan yin. All of their oolongs are my favorite.
EDIT: What shop do you think has the best aged oolong? What about the best dan cong?

It seems to me that you need multiple threads for oolong! I would be surprised to find one vendor at the top of most lists for green oolongs, aged oolongs, dark oolongs, roasted oolongs, bai hao, and dan cong.trent wrote:EDIT: What shop do you think has the best aged oolong?
