Oolong Pomelo
What have been people's experiences with Pomelo Oolong? Is the prep similar to making any Oolong tea? How would you know if the tea is any good?

I am not sure if Maklub is wondering about the same thing as I do. I have been wondering about a tea wrapped in dried pamelo fruit skin. The tea is bergamot oolong (or fo shou oolong), a oolong varietal, not scented tea. It was a tradition among Chinese in southeastern Asian that many family keeps some fo shou oolong wrapped in dried pamelo fruit skin. It was believed a best medicine for a long list of illnesses.
It seems in redemption these days. I remember seeing quite a few online retailers selling them, both in China and in US (I guess, most of them are not exactly the same as traditional style, but better looking). I've never had this and wonder if it tastes good.
I can't remember where I saw them for sale earlier. And here is a photo I found about it:
