I've heard of some of these oolongs. It's interesting to see the translations. I especially like that last one "Bu Zhi Chun -
Also known as Not known in springtime."

"Not known in springtime" - :!: That's a great name.

I've never heard of this particular oolong though. Any idea where it's from? It must be Chinese, but do you know which province?
