From the February East Wind Tea e-newsletter:
Jasmine Tea: "A wonderful, aromatic, flavorful tea from China. We've added just a hint of chrysanthemum to give it a touch more flowery fragrance. Our Jasmine tea was a hit at the holidays and is great to drink all year round."
Snow Jewel: "A delicate Chinese white tea – very sophisticated. Low in caffeine."
Hongcha: "A Korean black tea – smooth and malty!"
Nokcha: "A special Korean green tea, naturally sweet and earthy."
Award Winning Tea From Sri Lanka: "Sales of this tea benefit the victims of the Sri Lankan tsunami."

Phoenix Eyebrow Green
This time I have photographs but no personal tasting notes. This green tea was purchased from Upton Tea Imports; Upton describes the tea as 
Verdant, tender young leaves are processed and shaped into tight points. The pale liquor has full body, rich fragrance and mellow flavor.

Lately: East Wind Tea Amber Oolong
No photographs to share but this tea is tightly curled when dry. When steeped, the aroma is reminiscent of roasted, bittersweet chocolate. Here are the tasting (and steeping) notes from East Wind Tea:
A delicious, satisfying medium oolong from Taiwan with a slightly smoky "bitter chocolate" taste that fills the mouth. An excellent digestive that has, because of high temperature drying, reduced caffeine. Brew at 195° F for one to two minutes. Can be brewed 4 to 5 times.
