Hello everyone,
I just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I'm new to the forum, and fairly new to loose leaf tea. I've been drinking it for awhile now, but i've just recently started to branch out into different kinds of tea. I am not a big fan of green teas, but i have found that i do love oolong, however, i have only tried a few kinds. Does anyone have any suggestions? And, also...where can I find the best tea online. I live in Boston, and we don't seem to have a lot of good places to pick up tea around here...
Jen

Just click the link on the top right banner.
What type of oolongs have you tried?

Thanks for the welcome! Everyone is so nice here! I haven't tried many oolongs, but of those I have tried many have been flavored from a local tea shop. They don't carry many varieties. I just placed an order with Adagio and tried a sample of the Ali Shan since it got such good reviews. any other one's i should try? I have to say...as of now, I love straight up black teas (I have been branching out recently and have found types that I like, and don't like), but for white and oolong teas I find that I like the fruity flavors more. Maybe this is because I haven't had any good white or oolongs...
