Cheap high fire oolong

[drinking_teas]

hi everyone, recently I've come to love drinking a good, high-fired rolled oolong before bed, it's very soothing. I was wondering where I could find some high-fired (maybe even death roasted) rolled oolongs, such as TGY or Dong Ding. My favorite at the moment is FLT's Muzha TGY daily drinker, but I'd like a bit more roast than that (and a bit less price). I was looking at YS for a good one, but the reviews say their charcoal TGY is a light-medium roast.

Thanks!

Tea-masters has a tieguanyin with high roast. It's under the hung shui oolongs. 100 grams for $25, which to me is daily drinking price. It's also very very tastey

Seems that he only has 25g of it left. Thanks for the recommendation though.

This YS TGY charcoal fired tea is very good.

That's a bummer... I was planning to get some more!

I'll consider throwing some in when I order from them. Thanks.

I was thinking that as well, sounds like a trip to the Asian grocery is in the near future.

I was looking for SeaDyke locally and could not find it. Does anyone have an online source?

Man, Kentucky must be one sad place if they don't even have Sea Dyke. I now feel blessed to walk a few blocks and be able to pick up tons of varietals for 1 to 8 dollars.

TO THE THREAD STARTER

When I saw this thread, I was thinking "Sea Dyke" as well. You could try looking on Dragon Tea House? I know they have really cheap green Tieguanyin... but heavily roasted? Not sure. I'm looking now and I see that there is a charcoal roasted one for 6.99 for 50 grams. $35 for 1 pound, even. Yo'd have to really love the stuff, though. Need I mention the free shipping on all orders? Their green isn't bad and is a good every day/travel tieguanyin for me, so I imagine their heavily roasted ones can't be too bad. However, if you can find a good Sea Dyke I would just go with that honestly. If you can enjoy their yellow box tieguanyin which sells for something like $1.30 for 100 grams or however much it is then life will be very easy for you. If you don't like that, the red tin offers quite the different (superior, so many say) experience.

Either way, here is a link to one of the dragon tea house tieguanyin if you are interested in checking it out.

Yeah I'm not on too much of a budget, I think the red tin stuff will do. I'll also check out DTH, but I probably will skip it as Sea Dyke is cheaper. Thank you for the recommendation!

Good choice. There is a reason I haven't bothered ordering DTH's myself!

Oh, quite contraire mon frere! Kentucky is awesome. Bourbon, Basketball, and Beauty. In the tea front it is a little lacking due to the south being stubborn and close-minded. There are a few teashops here but both are over 30 miles away and carry blends with some alright "high end" stuff that is more mediocre compared to online sourced tea.

As for Asian markets, they do have some teas but they are mostly REALLY bad. I have found 1 or 2 tollerable teas in the markets but mostly they are a miss.

You can get the Geow Yong (Yao Yang) brand stuff on Taobao (via a proxy), usually for reasonably cheap. It is definitely towards the MDR end of the spectrum.
Sea Dyke red tin is only a moderate roast, if memory serves. I wouldn't pay too much for it.

it's a bit cheaper at their stores locally that cater to Chinese customers. Haven't tried in a while, but my memory is that it's not bad tasting.
