If you could drink only one oolong

[appleberry]

it would have to be a wuyi - never boring!

I'd have nothing and just sit there imagining all my favourites.

Seriously though once I go through a 100 grams bag of something I want to drink something else for a while. I do have favourites that I always touch back on but I always go from one end of the spectrum to the other when I get through a bag. (I usually have about 3-4 bags on the go)

Anyway probably Alishan & Wuyi are among my favs but you'll never pin me down.......NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's really why I start my mornings with a black tea.

My answer will tell you nothing since I have not sampled as broadly as most who have already posted. For me though, the simplest and most consistent has always been baozhong. I know there are a million grades and prizes among that one category and I really couldn't be more specific. I am a fan of the light oolongs so...

I am happy to know I won't be beheaded if I change my mind after more experience.

Strangely, while I'm not a huge fan of most light Oolongs, I do love BaoZhong. Not sure that this makes sense...

For me, definitely any Taiwanese high mountain oolong, and if I had to be more specific, probably a Lishan. No matter what type of oolong I try, I always end up craving and enjoying these oolongs the most.

Either Baozhong or Pouchong, can't make up my mind.

Funny I know someone the opposite, right here on the board.

Not sure how you can love one and not the other.
I say it's all good!

No Dong Ding so far? That would be my choice.

just finished my first bag of that the other......really miss the smell of the leaves after they'd been washed. So sweet and cakey

TGY but I am inexperienced so there is no much I can say to the point that I still don't know what exact variety and harvest I got with me right now (need to ask the vendor tho). I have only tried the Bai Hao (oriental beauty) variety in a tea house outside Taipei but I forgot, it was 4 years ago. So it wouldn't be fair to say now which is the best of the two.

Different teas for different moods and seasons... but so far I would say aged, high-fire Gao Shan never seems to disappoint. Especially the ones which are re-roasted every year for 15+ years. Yum! I've tried at least four teas in this category and they rank among my all-time favorites.

Those look very appealing, but only seen them on Stephane's blog. I'll have to poke around some more.

Camellia Sinensis has a couple. The '91 Ali Shan is quite nice in my opinion, as long as you are into cigar and leather notes. It's definitely as masculine tea.
