		<description><![CDATA[Winter, of course, is a dormant period; weeding continues, but not much else happens in most tea gardens.  Autumn&#8217;s harvest of Oolong (not so different from autumnal Darjeelings) produces fine teas.  What a welcome surprise, therefore, to receive a small collection this time of year, including some limited winter production teas. It has become a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apologies for the late posting.  The wind storm that hit southern California on Dec. 1st knocked out power for a couple of days. The previous post gave an overview of Oolong teas beyond the familiar Chinese restaurant tea.  Here I turn to the more oxidized and roasted subgroup. These expensive, extravagantly long-leafed Oolongs may well [...]]]></description>

After all, Oolong became familiar to many tea drinkers as part of that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have devoted several posts to Ti Kuan Yin teas.  They are good tasting teas and deserve to be better known; they are fussy teas to make, so there is a body of information there for those who want to be able to identify TKY from other Oolongs. This is the tea type, par excellence, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a post dated August 21, 2011 I wrote about a brownie-sized square of Oolong tea. Several weeks ago I received a small red foil packet containing Black tea, notable because it had been made from a Shui Hsien varietal, one customarily used to make an Oolong that bears this name.  (Shui Hsien is sometimes [...]]]></description>

The tea was a delicious (and costly), lightly oxidized TiKuanYin from a trusted vendor, and I had saved the sample to taste when there was plenty of time to savor what I anticipated would be a treat.

Among a dozen or so samples opened today, it was a pleasant surprise to come upon this tea: a little square, about 1.5 inches, (brownie-sized) wrapped neatly in 2 layers of white paper. The label said &#8220;Oolong&#8221; but the tea could have [...]]]></description>
