My favorite is Ten Ren's
King's Tea series. The tea is high quality Taiwanese oolong and the ginseng is subtle. I usually buy the cheaper 103, but occasionally spring for a small can of the 403.
I'm pretty sure that the
Ten Fu I'm drinking now is a mainland knockoff of the Ten Ren. The flavor is almost spot-on for the 103, but it's
almost half the price. When they're side-by-side, the Ten Fu tastes less "fruity" and has a bit more ginseng, but I'd have a hard time identifying a single cup.
I've got a third one that is different; instead of being regular, rolled-up tea leaves, it looks like
this. I bought it in an Asian store in one of the cardboard cans, but I don't remember the brand. It tastes like a strong green tea with a heavy dose of ginseng and licorice. I like it, but it's definitely not what I was expecting.
