FLT's 2010 Li Shan--still very smooth but despite numerous efforts I haven't been able to replicate the wonderful buttery flavor that I enjoyed on only 1, maybe 2 sessions with this tea.

Anyone else still have some of this around? I would be interested to hear your experiences with it.

Finishing up the day with some TKY From NCTG courtesy of Geek.
Started this session kinda late, probably means not much sleep tonight.
:shock:

I, on the other hand, had a beautiful sleep after a TGY session last Sunday night. However when it comes to pu-erh and night time consumption, oh boy! Wasted sleep.

Interesting to see how different teas affect people differently.

Li Li Xiang Tie Guan Yin from WanLingTeaHouse. I find myself drinking this one more and more often.

No I'm in Norway, but they do international shipping and I've ordered from them 3 times without problem so far.

Medium roast monkey-picked TGY from Jing (UK). Good body, with a naturally sweet and slightly nutty (hazel) flavor. Also a hint of citrus to keep it interesting. Excellent durability, to boot.

Wu Yi Cha Wang Da Hong Pao from TeaSpring. Today I was struggling a bit to get the best taste out of it, but the third infusion was good. It seems that I need to practise gaiwan-brewing a bit more before I can (hopefully) get more consistently good results...

Jing Teashop Seasonal DHP (free sample) - decent chocolately flavor and sweet for the first few brews but not that interesting - no floral notes and no offsetting bitterness/balance. Not smoky at all (which is good for me but not everyone). Well, at least it is pretty inexpensive.
