Just wanted to give a positive shout out for Tillerman Tea!
I have really enjoyed their Oriental Concubine and Roasted Gaoshan as well as some of their other oolong offerings.
Give their tea a try!

What Chip said.
I've never heard of them either. Are they a local shop or do they have an online store?

Re: tillerman tea
I know Janine likes them she sent me some samples. 
I think it is a store in the bay area. Correction: Napa
And I see they do have an online store:

Re: tillerman tea
Thanks Victoria, did you try any of there oolong samples? If so how were they?
It looks like they have a nice selection, especially the oolongs. I like that they have da hong pao and some other wuyi's along with taiwanese and high mountain oolongs all in one place!

Re: tillerman tea
You know I tried some that Janine sent me, but it was over a year ago, so I don't remember real well. I sure am in an oolong deprived mode, the Spring Oolongs can't get here soon enough.
Re: tillerman tea
Hi!! I got a newsletter from them recently that they have some new teas. I find their selections and sourcing to be good. I'd recommend trying - at least buying samples or small quantities. Victoria is right - they are in Napa.
