This is a $5 100g tin from Hsin Tung Yang Co located in Taiwan I got in my Chinatown.

This is what you get for your Lincoln. There is a wonderful lingering aftertaste that coats the throat.

My tins are a couple of years old.

I have the 7.9oz pouchong for $12 which matches their sold out $11. It could be their 3.52 pouchong is a misprint at $12.

Here is my picture of their 7.05 TGY which I hadnt opened till now.

Mine was $6.99. I think you can see the price tag. Multiple whole leaves have their twig which I didnt show on the plate. It is a good balance between the light and medium roast tending toward medium. The picture shows the dark green leaves accurately. The leaves are wonderfully krinkled like a good Taiwan TGY. I never reached bottom after five infusions for this picture. I couldnt do much about the winter shadow.

Over 200g for $12 you cant beat it for the price, taste, looks.

Ill keep an eye out for their tin oolong. I have the gold foil soft bags which I havent opened. I might report on their soft bag oolong.
