How would you define the term
rhythm when applied to teas? This is not the first time I read this particular term, used for describing tea's experiences, but never understood the meaning of it!
I think everyone's opinion on this could be different, based on own experiences,
for me it's just how Gushu reacts in my tongue, bitter/astringency that turns into sweetness finanlly transformed as
huigan, a little echoing on my tongue
the interval is quite clear and lasts..

Small yellow label from EoT purchased many years ago was broken up for drinking over the past winter. I think this was an 8582 from late 90s.
Going to need to hurry to finish my winter teas before the dog days of summer force the switch to gaoshancha, sheng puerh, and yerba mate.

Still exists in 2016 pure unmixed LBZ material?
if you mean unmixed as 单株, no it isn't..LBZ also varies a lot in quality in the town
plus, 2016's price crown went to Bingdao, not LBZ
Yep!
Bingdao is really really tasty, but so expensive!!

2007 Yong De white bud sheng from Norbu, amazingly still warm 30 hours after preparation of a thermos full--the thermos unopened until now. Light, sweet, a little floral, tasty, and warm but not too hot--just right for this afternoon.

2013 Ai Lao [YS via Greenteaguru]
This has gone through some changes since I got it last year (and have kept in a multi-layer bag). Some of the initial bitterness and adstringency have subsided giving way to delicate perfumey notes that remind me of certain tibetan incense sticks (juniper, sandal wood, nutmeg, spikenard). Not that durable but pretty mellow and tasty with a nice viscosity and impressive, grounding qi - not bad for the 30 pounds I paid last year.

Drank some shu from burma today, the 2016 version of this:
https://www.terre-des-thes.fr/boutique/daye-myanmar/
It's surprisingly good, so far Ive had bad experiences with loose leaf shus, especially this young, but this one was incredibly clean start to finish, even drank the rinse, it had no wudui to speak of, very nice quality.

Sipping some 2010 Golden Needle White Lotus right now but I actually prefer 8592's and some XG ripes, like the Xiao Fa's over this IMO overrated and overpriced stuff and most other Dayi shus - YMMV.

Drank some 2002 CNNP 7532 last night (HK traditional storage). Really lovely. There was a note of camphor to this tea when I first bought the bing, but that dissipated considerably. Really smooth, sweet and thick mouthfeel. Amazing how different it is from 7542 and 8582--I really like this tea, and the storage was excellent. Letting it rest in my office for a few months has really helped the tea come into its own. Only a touch of bitterness, even when brewed strong. Reminds me of a good shu, but you can tell it isn't shu pu. This is what shu tries to be (and it gets somewhat close)! Would make a great daily drinker IMO.

I like the 7532's better as well.
I quite like them all! I think I may actually prefer 8582.
