That's awesome! The coolest thing is to buy direct, thanks I'll check it out! So I can buy from either leafy green or directly from him personally on the 2088taiwan website? Also I was looking at the leafy green site and it doesn't say who made each tea, does Hua Ying Chen make all their oolong?

That charcoal roasted Lishan sounds tasty. Where is this coming from?
