Wow, I hope this response to Kongni doesn't provoke another cat fight! (BTW, I find whites to be like Bao Zhong: the best ones will yield many, many infusions.)

In reference to your question about the gyokuro, here are my thoughts last night on my first session with it and Olivierco's instructions a week or so earlier. Its taste and -- especially its feel -- are very different from other teas; it has enormous umami.

Gee, I am starting to get the impression that the answers to all life's questions can be found in links to TeaChat topics!
