IShopO's WI08 Pinlin GABA Oolong Tea (Unroasted).
A greenish, vegetal but very pleasant tea.

One of my few remaining packs of Rich Barbarian TKY, does not seem as vibrant as 2 years ago, but still nice and interesting.

What do you think of that tea? How does it compare to comparable teas?

As for the tea itself (sans comparisons) I would say it's pretty great. Stephane is right when he relates it to coffee, it has quite a few cocoa notes that I've tasted in coffee before. It's also pretty complex, and doesn't have much of that overly-roasted flavor.

The only tea I have around to compare it to would be the 2009 Classic Roast from the TG. I'd say that the roast is stronger on the '09, and it's not quite as complex. I've yet to do a side-by-side comparison, been meaning to. But as of right now I'd say TeaMasters is better, with a lower pricetag, too ($22 vs. $33/100g).

Thanks. I think I will get some in my next Teamaster's order.

I'm having the last of my 1983 Pinglin Bao Zhong, I'll be sad to see it go! It's one of my favorite oolongs.

Just ordered some samples from teafromtaiwan. Most of the oolongs I have tried so far have been from Adiagio so excited to try something new.
