When a friend visited London she brought me back a tin of it but it did not have the same oomph. It lacked the smokiness & depth of flavor of the foil package. Does anyone have a source(s) for really intensely flavored oolong teas in NYC or online? BTW, Fortnum & Mason does not export formosa oolong to the USA.

Otherwise, I have ordered teas online from Serendipitea and have always enjoyed their products.

Imperial Tea Court also has a wonderful website, though, and you can order their teas online. Here's a link to their Oolong selections. There's no "Formosa" listed but there are a number of teas from Taiwan.

My fave for years has been "RoyalOolong" tea imported by Summit Importers of NJ. They package it in a greenish golden tin w/Chinese Mountainish landscape picture on it. I have seen the same Tin w/a different importers name (Helmwing) on it but am not sure if it is the same. A good source is Golden City Supermarket @ 46-31 Kissena Blvd in Flushing (the center of the known universe) or Po Wing Hong Grocery Sotre @ 49 Elizabeth St. This tea has a great earthy flavor and aroma, mmmm.
