Re: Heavily oxidised non-bug bitten oolong in Taiwan

This used to be called three-quarters-oxidized oolong, if I understand correctly. It was a style developed by the Japanese during the occupation, but I don't know if it still made anymore.

Is anyone still making the classic American-export style Formosa Oolong?

I know that it is not a hip style at all anymore, with the TRES producing interesting new cultivars and the trend in oolongs in general being towards the lighter pouchong styles, but are there any growers around New Taipei who still make the American-export style oolong in good quality?
