    * **Gong Fu Cha (18 XII 18) (2016 Winter in stone and clay pot):** Clay some sourness in the nose I haven't found before (absent in the stone). That's mirrored also in the taste. But differences are very, very small, especially when it cools.    * **Gong Fu Cha (18 XII 18) (2016 Winter in stone and clay pot):** Clay some sourness in the nose I haven't found before (absent in the stone).

    * **Western** (25 XII 18) (comparing [[Buddha's Hand]] Shiding 09 to Yingzhi [[Hongxin]] Baozhong 17 and Dong Ding [[Wuyi]] 16): leaves smell very maritime, typical smell of Taiwanese oolongs I'd say; and maybe it's really the vicinity to the ocean. Empty cup dark deep honey, very pleasant, a bit maritime, too. Nose almost animalic and light leather; quite big and intense oolong. Maritime note again, some wood; a little bit of malt sweetness. A bit bitter as it chills; woodsier.    * **Western** (25 XII 18) (comparing [[Buddha's Hand]] Shiding 09 to Yingzhi [[Hongxin]] Baozhong 17 and Dong Ding [[Wuyi]] 16): leaves smell very maritime, typical smell of Taiwanese oolongs I'd say; and maybe it's really the vicinity to the ocean.

 +   * Shiding 16 would be good to age in Cherry Blossom wood.

    * **Blind Western (10 III 19)**: very pleasant, deep nose. slightly fruity, aged peach vinegar. A bit more of a hay, or barn-like quality. Sits a bit weirdly in the mouth, some metallic tinge.    * **Blind Western (10 III 19)**: very pleasant, deep nose. slightly fruity, aged peach vinegar. A bit more of a hay, or barn-like quality. Sits a bit weirdly in the mouth, some metallic tinge.
 +   * **Western** (21 III 19): fruitier, sehr verheissungsvoll. Cup: smooth and full. A little bit of wood comes forth. Still very round as it chills. Pineapple? Slightly chloride as it chills more.
 +   * **Blind Western** (4 IV 19): fruity, a bit fimo. quite dry in the mouth, a bit woody. a bit thin, unremarkable.
 +
 +===Shiding (2020) (ST)===
 +   * Western 21 X 21: Slightly cooking dough, and a green, mellow vanilla. Cup quite round, slighty remnants of grassiness, but overall quite dough-like, sweetish, linear.
 +   * Blind Western (31 X 21): big time oolong, very fruity and just perfectly roasted, golden raisins! Cup pleasantly light in texture, yet full-bodied in taste. Tart and lilies of the valley; again, beautifully balanced! As it chills a bit milky; mistook it for a TGY.
 +   * Western (31 X 21): buttery, full nose; a bit watery or flower stalks. Some cinnamon in the cup, very round and easy-drinking, a bit lighter, less serious.

    * **Western** (15 III 19): tamer, rounder nose. comparably flat, some tea spice. a bit rocky, a bit clay like. nice enough tea, a bit dry, a bit dusty.    * **Western** (15 III 19): tamer, rounder nose. comparably flat, some tea spice. a bit rocky, a bit clay like. nice enough tea, a bit dry, a bit dusty.
 +   * **Western** (20 III 19): deep nose, a bit of clay; wet popcorn? Cup: Alot of dark honey, so sweet in the finish! Also a bit of filter coffee stone. later, a more rocky minerality steps forth. Not a bad tea! 
 +   * **Western** (13 VI 19): nose not terribly obvious, almost filter coffee, a bit of ferment. darker leather notes, some dark chocolate, too. in the cup similar, a bit thin, a bit rocky, filter coffee quality. I don't think this is a good tea. 
 +   * **Blind Western** (8 I 20): Old filter coffee and paper big time. Carton, broccoli stew, cocoa paper. Pape marche. Cup is very much like that, some woody aspects, and paper cookie dough. Tastes a bit old. Not so bad actually. I get lots of charcoal roast.

   * **Blind Western** (9 III 19): very warm and toasty nose. almost malty, but I can detect some freshness behind it all. Banana leaf? I get a whiff of **smoke**, even! The cup is quite flavourless, some dusty rocks, a bit of acidity in the back. I presumed it might be Yingzhi Hongxin. Not terribly great. Horrible, actually, when it chills completely, Fleischkäse!   * **Blind Western** (9 III 19): very warm and toasty nose. almost malty, but I can detect some freshness behind it all. Banana leaf?

   * **Western** (15 III 19): sharp, interesting. something quite fermented, leathery, and fruity (but more guavas?). in the cup quite fruity again, demure also? Can't detect any of last time's sharpness, maybe it appears only when it cools? yeah, here it comes.   * **Western** (15 III 19): sharp, interesting. something quite fermented, leathery, and fruity (but more guavas?). in the cup quite fruity again, demure also?

 +===Alishan===
 +   * **Western** (4 XII 19): lighter, greener nose, a little bit vanillated. Cup light, vanillated; and alpine flowers; maybe unripe banana; orange citrate finish.
 +   * **Blind Western** (2 I 2020): nose fruity, full, pleasant. Cup full, but quite refreshing. A bit of a ham-like quality, lemon ham. A hint of maritime. A very good tea, extremely filling, good mix of fullness, fresh vanilla. Not too subtle. (I got it right, but I think I did the Western in the small cup, that is, 3 gr on 100 ml for 5 m)

 +===Song Tea===
 +   * **Western** (30 XII 19): Very plain, a bit roasted, a bit orange.
 +   * **Blind Western** (6 I 19): coffee like nose, mineralic, filtered, brickstone, claylike. Cup keeps this clay quality, it is not a bad tea, but it's not fruity at all. Some petrified apricot kernels in the finish, decent lingering, but somewhat unsatisfying. As it chills even more so.
