Hello! I am currently looking to purchase some bug bitten and aged oolongs, as I have yet to try them. However, I have no idea of where I might go to find decent selections of either, and am unsure of whether some online shops are regarded as better than others regarding the quality of the product. ...

Here's what I'm drinking this morning! This is Yunnan Sourcing's Imperial (their highest grade) First Flush dragonwell.
