pouchong

There are lots of sources, but don't forget that this tea is also transliterated as Baozhong.

Shan Shui Teas is right up there. In Pursuit of Tea's entry is usually excellent. The Fragrant Leaf also offers one, and I've drunk it, and it's worth trying.

It probably won't do you much good but two Taiwan commercial companies with excellent products on the shelves are Hsin Tung Yang and Good Young. Ebay has a couple of sellers from Taiwan. Other commercial key words which are more pouchong than oolong are Dong Ding, A-Li-Son and Nan-Tou. Sometimes you'll see green jade oolong which is pouchong. Look for the websites that break out Taiwan teas into their own section.

Since you are in Philadelphia, I would suggest trying the House of tea.

Ten Ren has a decent Taiwan-grown pouchong. They will do mail order, or you can go to their shop in NYC.
