There are 3 or 4 whole foods around me and one of them does not carry the Rishi. Most others do I believe so I am sorry - maybe should've called them. And if you know about Teavana, I was crazy about them for a while but then I became more of a "puritan" tea lover so I do not do blends. I enjoy a cup of say Peach Oolong at a restaurant but I don't go out of my way to buy it and make it. I don't crave it, you know? I have indeed tried Wuyi and it brings back good memories Ah you must have listened to me and Andy Hayes over at Sharing Travel Experiences. Nice! Thanks for the chat, this was fun :)! Hi Stacey,

So here's the update: I went to 2 different Whole Foods today looking for the Rishi loose Oolong to no avail. Hmpf. Ended up getting Republic Of Tea Wuyi Oolong ($19.99) and I'm having my first cup now as I write this. I have to say... delicious! Very smooth. Have you tried this one? Of course I'll have to compare to Rishi once I bloody find it! Oh I also saw a few Oolong blends... like Peach, and Citrus.... yuck, right? I'm assuming you don't do the blends? By the way, enjoyed listening to a pod cast you did with a travel site earlier today! (can't remember the name of the site) Have a great weekend! Stacey* Yeah, I think I’m slowly converting to tea with milk on an ‘all the time’ basis!

I've been using the Kenya black tea that a friend brought me, with some mint leaves. It's good and it has caffeine. I *NEVER* ever add milk to my tea. I haven't had milk since I was 16 and now I am vegan so no milk but the whole idea of milk to tea, Stacey, no no no! Not for me or for Persians or for the Chinese. I think it's just an English thing that I never picked up. I try *not* to drink Oolong at night but if I feel like it I do and trust me, I sleep so little that no caffeine could keep me up when I hit the bed. I do love a lot of different green teas and Jasmine Pearls tea. White teas, not so much, not enough body and flavor for me but I am always open to trying a new tea. Very fun chat :)! What about you?

So what do you substitute when you're out of Oolong? By the way, are you able to drink Oolong at night or do you drink another kind of tea at night? And do you ever add milk to your tea? Fun these tea conversations, huh? Stacey* How funny! So what do you substitute when you’re out of Oolong?

Would you believe that before I read your comment, I was telling my hubby how I've been out of Oolong for 48 hours but just couldn't make it to Whole Foods? How odd that I get your comment right away. Persian tea: Yes, I love it. I grew up on it and we have it always after meals. It's just a type of black tea. If you can find a Lebanese grocery store, try the Ahmad brand of black tea. And steep it just right. We also add a few fresh leaves of mint to black tea. No honey. Thanks for coming over. Come back anytime. Love seeing you, Stacey! Dear Stacey, you went digging, didn’t you?
