Love old pu-erh tea. First pick dragon well is good too.
Try this site, click to English. Goto online order > tea in packets. There will be 8 images on the screen, it is on the left of the one on the bottom right (one with red flower). Price not cheap though - it is priced in Hong Kong dollars. There are other shops around, probably best to ask member who actually live in Hong Kong!

Haven't tried this place before. I like to get mine from the Ngan Ki Heung Tea shop but they do not have an online site. Other place I grab tea at now and then is Sun Sing ( http://www.sunsingtea.com/en/index.php ) but I think they are a bit more expensive than others (and let's be frank I ain't getting any deals in Hong Kong). Lately I usually just buy the shop's blends. Otherwise I pick up a typical Menghai made CNNP labelled tea but I will only do that for a cheap cooked pu-er like the 8592. If you aren't in HK then I don't know who to go to for tea. There are a number of websites though.
Nice website! Any good recommendations?
I picked up a cake of this the other day: http://www.sunsingtea.com/en/goods.php?id=466
Not bad. My recollection was that it was large leaves with a strong smoky flavor. I picked it up as an upcoming replacement for a similarly tasting cake I got from Ngan Ki Heung. I did not try too many different kinds that day though, it just happened to fit the price and flavor that I was looking for.
