Tea Nerd: January 2010
http://www.teanerd.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 11, 2010. Aged Oolong from Imperial Tea Court. Origin: Fujian, China. Vendor: Imperial Tea Court. Price: $6.00 (28g) / $21.25 (113g). This is not a bad tea.

Modest price I can't complain. It also seems to give an above-average cha qi.
