The first one I have re-tried (as I used to drink tea as a child) was Ti Guan Yin. This is the iron goddess oolong a standard chinese tea. It has extreme sweetness/vanilla taste. The level of floral-vanilla sweetness balanced against the tea's natural, but mild bitterness makes for a heady seductive beverage. Right now I am on my 8-9th infusion of a 2006 Wild Tree Floral Raw Pu-erh Tea from Luxi * 250 g that I purchased from Yunnan Sourcing LLC. It is a great website for Puerh and Black Tea. This tea has rich smooth unique earthy flavor at first after about the 5th washing it turns to a sugar cane sweet leafy taste. Recently I just ordered 500 grams of Hairy crab oolong from them Fall '08 harvest. I am curious to try their oolong. This will be my first Fall harvested tea and my first time trying Hairy Crab Oolong. I am also very very very excited to have a daily oolong tea that is not as sweet as Ti Guan Yin. While Ti Guan Yin is an amazing tea after a couple pounds worth woa its just too much sweetness I need a break. If anyone is looking for a great black/red tea I strongly recommend searching for Yunnan Gold Bud Bi Luo Chun" Pure Bud Black tea This tea has a deep but crisp flavor with the highest level of serious fruitiness I have ever experienced in a tea. But deep fruitiness not like floral orchid or jasmine like a fine oolong, but rather more pomegranate or roasted candy apple. This is the perfect tea if you were a long time coffee drinker and you need something a little more stiff than oolong in the morning. Also I could get 2-3 good infusions from a spoonfull of leaves. The leaves are tightly curled. In hot water the quickly unfurl by the end of the 2nd or 3rd wash the individual buds open and split displaying two mirror halves of the bud connected.
