This is my favorite tea. It is a pungent Oolong from China. I first tried it solely on the strength of its name, but was soon hooked. I haven't found any definitive source for the name; but a friend tells me that it may arise from a transliteration between dialects. Another explination of the name can be fond here. In my darker moments this is the deity I would want to worship, if I believed in deities.
