I'm having some DHP from Life in a Teacup and it's pretty nice, I have to say. The first few sessions weren't that great, but now it has been open for a few weeks and remarkably improved.

TGY from a store in Montreal called Tea Sante. New to tea drinking but it is delicious. Looking forward to trying other vendors to compare

Tie Luo Han from Life is hitting the spot on a chilly, wet day.

A session of Mandarin Tearoom Highfire TGY. Thought I already went a bit heavy on the caffeine today, so I did not crush any, and brewed it like most oolongs. Presented a lighter and much more varied flavor across 8 infusions, although I prefer it being made with crushing some and trying to get 4 consistent infusions.

medium roast tgy in a very traditional style.

Premium Ti Luo Han from Best Tea House. Giving it a try more western style today. 7g in 180ml pot. Not as complex as gongfu sessions with this, but super smooth. Nice aftertaste. I could drink this all day like this.

Trying my second sample from Amazing-green-tea today. their TLH. Suprised so far with how much I have liked both this one so far and the SX I tried yesterday.

2010 half handmade Rou Gui From EOT. They seem to be out of stock of both their 2010 half hand made Yancha. I geuss its time to try the 2011s.

How was that Gaoshan, Adam? I need to re-order some Taiwan oolong. I am going to get yancha-ed out.
I am having the '11 high fire SX from MTR for the second day in a row.
Went stronger today. 10g in 135ml. Super roasty. Great long lasting aftertaste. Big portions, big kick.
Strong buzz without being too jangly.

Not the best one I have had from him, but I had 2 really good infusions, the rest were somewhat lack luster.

This is my favorite Dong Ding. I use a small Chao Zhou Zhuni pot to brew this in. Superb! In fact, I brew many Taiwanese oolongs in this pot. Gaiwan doesn't bring out all the flavors and nuances of these teas like good, zhuni clay.
