I think it is because oolong tea is so widely drunk that in Burmese it is called 'hot water'. The British used to call it 'China tea', which is a bit out of date. As green tea is much better known that oolong, people who did not know tea seem to have come across that term. However whenever I have been able to ask about its making, I always here it is slightly fermented.<br /><br />The pickled tea is wonderful! A bit odd on first taste, but with an increasingly fascinating taste.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-22461190101322590662012-08-14T12:51:28.065-07:002012-08-14T12:51:28.065-07:00Dan Jones,

I have just recently been working on getting my hands on some of the teas from Larsen and Thompson, with the help of a friend in Adelaide, as they don't appear to sell/distro to North America. <br /><br />I agree with Gingko regarding the potential their teas have in the future as things open up, as long as the demand for them doesn't reach fever pitch and cause stress to their wild trees. <br /><br />I can't tell you how many times I have heard variations on this sentiment from artists I work with: "that trees do not make artificial boarders like people do"discipleofthetealeafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13951770887062358879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-58439604245693997682012-04-02T17:24:53.333-07:002012-04-02T17:24:53.333-07:00Gingko,
