You asked for the best types of Green, White and Oolong, but no vendors.

The best Oolong is high fired Beidou number one, which is a Yancha.

The best green tea is Anji White tea, which is named white tea, so I guess it counts as the best white tea too.

Thanks for the recommendations.

But by "No Vendors" I did not mean not to give me Vendor names butrather I did not want a Vendor to advertise his/her own tea! Do you see what I mean?

LOL too. Problem is every year they will be directly sent to the top bananas in China and don't even give people a chance to buy - not that many people can really afford them :lol:

But I believe esabet means what are the best tea as a start point. As for the best tea of all, of course there is only "better", never a "best" :P

They are actually made some, come and gone on a whim, or be auctioned. Last year Shi Feng Long Jing first-pick made by 18-tree producer was seen to sellers at Maliandao, not to public, price was some grand per 1/4 lb. As well as TGY

3.5 bushes were forbidden by law of plucking since 04.

Googled it, found out it may not. But I think it was from a book so I had no doubt believing just can't remember which book it was.

In April 4th, 05. In Shanghai 20g of DHP was sold to RMB 180,000 (27,000 USD) was recorded highest paid DHP.

Another auction followed selling RMB 156,800 and 166,000 for 20g.

Don't know which source should I trust.. :roll:
