I find the flavour of roasted oolong to be deeply comforting.
btw artmom you´d probably enjoy wu yi oolongs which are pretty much always charcoal roasted...sometimes for a few days and also the roasted Taiwan oolongs such as dong ding special roast and muzha tiequanyin from floating leaves tea
Thanks,
entropy, for the suggestions.

I am guessing a pretty interesting trend for TCers, though certainly not a national trend for all tea drinkers.
Matcha earlier to celebrate Seeker's nupTEAls served in a Kyo-Yaki Crane chawan and finishing the TD with Long Jing in celadon with Mrs. Chip.
Great TeaDay.

Male who digs oolongs here. In fact, I'm resampling Maestro TKY and liking it even better than the first time.

The problem is when you only allow us to list one favorite.
We poly-teaists don't get fully represented.

We you can not have more than one favorite by definition. You can have multiple in contention for your favorite and you are just unsure, but then neither of those is really a favorite is it?

But I do have many favorites. Really. Right now, my favorite is clearly the spring 2009 Diamond grade Tie Guan Yin oolong from norbu which I drank yesterday; when I next drink the 2007 white bud shen puerh from norbu, especially if I do a proper gong fu session so the flavor opens up, smoky, then earthy, sweet, spicy, floral, earthy, it will again be obviously the best ever and my eternal favorite, until I have one of those perfectly transcendent moments with sencha that cannot be improved, ever.....
I may have only one favorite at a time, but it changes, daily, hourly, with what I am drinking and craving next.

I'm just joking, I completely understand the fact that you might have a different favorite at different times. It might be a rather appropriate answer to say your favorite is the one you are currently drinking.
Though I guess the question might be reworded to, if you had to keep one tea in stock as often as physically possible, what would it be?

It's not as simple as the last tea I drank, because there are only a half dozen or dozen that really vie for the top spot.
Oddly enough, for how easily I can point to a favorite variety of orange (blood oranges like those on my tree) or apricot (blenheim) or potato (ruby crescent fingerling) or chocolate (scharffenberger 70% straight up, please), I really do not know if, when poised on the scale before boarding the lifeboat, and being told to drop another kilo from my sack of most dearly hoarded treasures, I would keep a pu or an oolong.
