    * **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.

    * **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.    * **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?

    * **Blind Western** (4 IV 19): fruity, a bit fimo. quite dry in the mouth, a bit woody. a bit thin, unremarkable.    * **Blind Western** (4 IV 19): fruity, a bit fimo. quite dry in the mouth, a bit woody. a bit thin, unremarkable.

 +   * 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** (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** (20 III 19): deep nose, a bit of clay; wet popcorn? Cup: Alot of dark honey, so sweet in the finish!

    * **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.    * **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.

 +   * **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** (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.
