Eastrise Orchid Oolong

At a very good, local Chinese restaurant I was served Eastrise Orchid
Oolong with my meal.
I discovered the name of the vendor with some gentle prodding; but,
have been unable to find this tea retail.
This was a very subtle orchid oolong, no visible flowers and very
delicate. The scent overtone took a background place in what seemed to
be a tasty Dan Chong.
Does anyone know where to buy this tea retail? I am assuming this tea
is inexpensive, since it is an option in a Bay Area restaurant -
although, it was $4.00 a pot.
Any info is much appreciated.
Xie! Xie!

They used to have a web site here: http://www.eastriseteas.com/, but it
seems to be gone. It wasn't much of a site anyway. They did seem to have a
pretty good selection, though I never got anything from them. Not much
help - sorry.
