| * Modern cultivar, floral, lovely, kind. Sprouts a lot, very beliebt with commercial farmers. Gefällig, especially in Summer; more subtle in winter. | * Modern cultivar, floral, lovely, kind.

| + | * **Blind Western** (6 II 19): full, round, roasted. extremely pleasant nose, makes me think of winter. a wee bit of leather, some acidity; very long echo in the mouth. | ||
| + | * **Western** (6 II 19): **cinnamon** hoch 5! lighter style, not as heavily roasted. Maiglöckchen when I think of them, but general fruitiness is more to the front. Cinnamon nose dissipates as it cools, and it becomes a bit greener. | ||
| + | * **Western** (7 II 19): A little bit of cinnamon and dough. Hint of tulips, fresh flowers. Light and lively, still some cinnamon; but also freshness. | ||
| + | * **Blind Western** (10 III 19): more cinnamon, forest. Green cinnamon, stalks, but somehow santified. Pinch of bitterness and salt; some flowers, too. Sijichun tuned. | ||
| + | * **Blind Western** (11 IV 19): light, narcissus, a bit vanilla. Quince jam! Cup very light and fast, pleasant, light vanilla sugar. Spring flowers. QA, Sijichun! (A lot less tea cinnamon this time.) | ||
| + | * **Blind Western** (2 II 20): Sleepy, malty. Soup round and pleasant, good tea. Some greenery in the round niceness, something animalic even. A little bit bitter, however; or sour even. It's not so light actually, huh? The sourness as it chills becomes the green cinnamon, though. | ||
| + | * **Blind Western** (3 II 20): yellowish nose, vegetable bouillon. Anklänge von weichem Karamell. A bit of cookie dough, also; and rain forest. Mostly cookie dough, cup easy, not sweet, a bit of green bitterness. Got it right, the combination of slight bitterness, tame cookie dough and green cinnamon gave it away. | ||

| * **Western** (against Nantou 16 and Wuyi reference blend): Both Taiwanese leaf smell. Empty cup for winter quite upfront, closed. Dense rain forest, very unlike Wuyi's deepness. Spring a bit more open, but lacking the Wuyi depth also. Nose quite pleasant, but not terribly fruity, juicy, maybe cuces and ananas (for both Sijichuns). A lot juicier than Wuyi. I find the cup is very similar to the [[Qingxin]]s I've tried, juicy, flower stalks, but a bit fast. Spring a bit more compact. This impression is still true as the tea chills down | * **Western** (against Nantou 16 and Wuyi reference blend): Both Taiwanese leaf smell. Empty cup for winter quite upfront, closed.

But also a white wine quality, or is it a broccoli bouillon? Dense forest. Cup very nice, complex; not sweet. Pineapple cough drops. That's it. Cool tea, very complex. |

| + | * **Blind Western** (2 II 20): sticky sweet, cookie dough; some vanillated flower stalks. Also some flower water staleness and yellowness. Cup sweet, very elegant sweetness actually. Long echo, indeed, I think sugared peas and Maiglöckchen. Didn't guess right. | ||
