    * **Blind Western** (1 II 20): Super much unbaked cookie dough! Almond meal, or marzipan. Very sweet, gourmand. Cup has the same cookie dough quality and sweetness, almost dusty in the finish. Dough-ness diminishes, becomes a bit plain. Thought it would've been Song's because it becomes so plain as it chills; but Song's style is in the impressive openings actually.    * **Blind Western** (1 II 20): Super much unbaked cookie dough!

 +   * **Blind Western** (2 II 20): full, pissy cookies and dark forest. White chocolate. Soup rock like, almost like a white tea. Some sourness, white balsa vinegar. Thought it would be Tanbei Jubiläum, but the cookie nose with the structure should've pointed me to Fenghuang.
 +   * **Western** (2 II 20): A bit of an animalic, bodily nose. Also sweet, I can in fact, imagine sweet duck shit to smell like this. Or some light chocolate ganache. Taste is slightly fruity, but has a certain woody structure that prevents it from being too round.
 +   * **Blind Western** (3 II 20): fruity, meaty; Simly? Baked apricot tart, old beach house wood; bit of beeswax. Cup full and fruity, tarte tatin, freshly fired clay. Thought it would be King of Thieves for it's lack of chocolate smoothness. The meaty-fruity combination would've been the hint.
 +   * **Western** (3 II 20): full, white chocolate; white meat. Cup similar, medium dry. Good structure, light chocolate covered clay.

-   * From Guangdong, smaller leaves. 
-   * **Western** (5 V 19): Beautiful soup. Roasted, slightly fruity, very pleasant nose. Orange fruits, light woods, even some white meat. Cup surprisingly slender, mineralic; a bit chalk-like.

-Sprin 2017:+Spring 2017:
    * **Western** (1 II 20): nose is supple, but has some fresh cut vegetables thrown in. Complex and balanced. Cup very tasty, charred honey cakes, some charred notes indeep, but well-integrated in the overall sweet impression. Good minerality on the tongue. Substantiated, a moderate amount of juicy freshness thrown in, too.    * **Western** (1 II 20): nose is supple, but has some fresh cut vegetables thrown in. Complex and balanced.

    * **Blind Western** (2 II 20): beautifully fruity nose, more candied fruits, but very precise and expressive. As it chills, odd indiscutable rubber. Cup dense, very woody; rubber note carries through, Slimy! Got it right, the intensity, and woodiness gave it away.    * **Blind Western** (2 II 20): beautifully fruity nose, more candied fruits, but very precise and expressive.

 +Spring 2024:
 +   * **Western** (18 III 25): Fimo nose. Roast carrots, very dry dried apricots. Flower stalks. In the cup quite decent, again, clay, a bit of green. Quite round, also almost a sugar drop quality.
 +   * **Western** (18 III 25, Atong's roasting): Also fimo nose, but a bit more fruit shines through. This is more mineral, I think, carries much longer. More charcoal-y notes, a tad burnt maybe even, but quite agreeable given how lively it is on the tongue.

 +====Mystery Phoenix (in the brown paper with the plastic see through)====
 +   * **Blind Western** (1 II 20): very üppig, big Gemüsebrühe, meaty, sehr speckig, a bit smoky, too. Acid reflux. Smoked celery. Cup peculiar, again, very meaty, smoked vegetables; lamb? I haven't tasted anything like this before, so I bet on the mystery phoenix, and I got it right. Intense fucker.
  
  
-====Shuixian Muzha==== 
-   * **Western** (2 I 19): Distinct Marakesh carpet store smell in the wet leaves. Some slight raisin note in the nose, but taste is very sweet, concentrated orange blossom honey. Crazy, not sure if it is a storage error or just awesomeness. Dried peaches and studentenfutter, pistachios; almost thick. 
-   * **Blind Western** (14 I 19): Nose very intense, very fermented? Not fruity, really more oriental fermented flavours. A bit leathery. Taste-wise, it's the most satisfying of the bunch (Fenghuang Dancong Shuixian and Yingzhi Hongxin). What gave it away was the very intense **fermented nose**. 
-   * **Western** (6 II 19): deep nose, clay, stonefruit kernels, roasted, leather (light). oh yes, this is shuixian, woody, bolt, fruity. this particular one quite woody, indeed; almost incensed. I find it almost a bit too much! Balsamic vinegar in the back. 
-   * ** Blind Western** (7 II 19): deep, yummy, malty, fruity. Actually, not that fruity, mostly malty. A bit of ferment fruit, and demure actually. leather, dry AF, no fruit at all, dryness, presence.  
-   * **Blind Western** (11 III 19): deep, tasty; warm peach tart; very full bodied, maple syrup sweetness. A little bit of rock dust, which becomes more as it chills. 
-   * **Blind Western** (11 IV 19): deep & dark, horse shit, warmed peaches; old wood. Something slightly sharp, and leather. Darker in the cup, but not terribly sweet. Coating, a bit of leather. Tobacco dryness almost.

    * **Blind Western** (15 IV 19):  lots of fresh peaches, quite light eucalypthus forest woodiness, tiger cage animalic. In the cup so much peaches, but dry, woody. Elegant, forceful & restrained. Enduring peach wood finish. Lipton in good.    * **Blind Western** (15 IV 19):  lots of fresh peaches, quite light eucalypthus forest woodiness, tiger cage animalic.

    * **Subsequent GFC** (5 I 19): after the 4th or 5th long steep, finally some baked aromas come forth, juicy, clear; but tremendously flavourless. Terribly unexciting; but not actively bad.    * **Subsequent GFC** (5 I 19): after the 4th or 5th long steep, finally some baked aromas come forth, juicy, clear; but tremendously flavourless.

    * **Blind Western** (2 IV 19): deep and savoury, some fresh garden earth. A little bit leather, wet clay and animal. Cup earthy, a bit chloride, quite dry.

    * **Western** (2 I 19, against Zhangping and Wuyi reference): leaves all smell very differently. This one very lipton-y, fresh and juicy and vibrant, peach-y AF; Zhangping lots of vanilla; Wuyi more leathery, roasted. Tasty motherfucker, very lightfooted taste, not light per se, lots of peaches in nose. **Early summer feeling**. Zhangping has some of that too, but also some vanilla, which distracts. Compared to this, Wuyi also has some peaches, but tamer, more restrained, darker, more leather. The freshness of the peaches and clarity is quite exceptional. It becomes pleasantly dry in the finish.    * **Western** (2 I 19, against Zhangping and Wuyi reference): leaves all smell very differently.

 +   * **Blind Western** (1 II 20): very supple nose, baked apples and pears. Some lavender is in there, too. Wood glue, sweetened apple cider vinegar. Wood cellar. Stellar nose, really! This is a good tea! Good acidity in the cup, and transportation of the apple orchard flavours. The complete orchard. Almost bitter as it cools. Didn't guess right that it was Song's, thought it would've been MLs. But the bitterness could've given it away.

    * **Western** (1 II 20): Beautiful orange soup. Nose is fascinating! Very full, candied oranges and indeed, jasmine, almost breathtaking, cloying. As it chills, slightly more green-floral. Cup in the same vein, perfumed, green; structured. As it chills, it becomes too cloying, almost soapy. Yes, cool it tastes like jasmine, alot. Interesting, but too perfumed.    * **Western** (1 II 20): Beautiful orange soup. Nose is fascinating! Very full, candied oranges and indeed, jasmine, almost breathtaking, cloying.
