I'm looking for Wu-long (oolong) tea but can't find it anywhere.
You can purchase it as grocery stores but i haven't been able
to locate it yet..anyone know where i can get it at?

Over the river and through the woods...
Do you have any tea specialty stores around that may stock it or special order it for you? Or, have you checked online? I'm not really a tea person (I'm a lipton kind of girl) so I know I'm not much help. I hope you find some.

Did you check out The Republic of Tea's website. When you sign up for their catalogs they always send a complimentary tea sample.

A health food or supplement store should have a good selection

Oh, I love tea
... probably have 10 diff kinds at home now


For the Asian teas, I try to get the Asian brands
... I think you can taste the "tea-ness" more
. Ten-Ren makes very good Chinese teas & sells a good variety of oolong teas, and the prices are reasonable:

P.S. If you like that light, almost floral aromatic tea, try the Jasmine varieties, esp. Jasmine Green Tea.

Try a speciality Chinese/Oriental shop/grocery store for it. I haven't seen in local stores. Green teas are plentiful, but not the special oolong one.

We get a lot of the Bigalow teas - about 5-6 different kinds. I have a wooden "tea house" with 3 drawers to store tea. We mix and match the teas. Some of our favorites are the chai teas, vanilla caramel, cherry vanilla, mint, etc.
