@JimInks mentioned that orientals were prominent in the about-to-be-released C&D Sun Bear Mountain Flowers. The mountain flowers refers to the source of honey used as a light topping. The prior release, Black Locust, was very nice.

For me, my favorite Oriental of all time, and will probably will remain so, was McClelland Classic Samsun.

The tin note always reminded me of the spice cabinet at my grandmothers as a child and the flavor was exceptional.

Was not one I would always be drawn to, but that blend still ranks as one of my all time favorites.

I had no idea Sutliff even sold bulk Katerini. Their site lists two: TS24 the blend of Yenidje, Basma and Samsun and TS19 which I think is just Smyrna. Only found TS25 through their distribution site, now I've got to leaf through the rest and see what else I missed.
