Thinking about it as I drink this AM, the 2021 Pinglin Natural Farming Shui Xian "Water Dragon" from Yunnan/Taiwan Sourcing really brews more like a Dancong Oolong than a typical Taiwanese Oolong.

2021 Pinglin Natural Farming Shui Xian "Water Dragon" from Taiwan/Yunnan Sourcing. This is a really interesting tea. Every steep shows a different character; sometimes fragrant, sometimes spicy, sometimes a little bitter, sometimes a little astringent. A little "naughty". For a Taiwan Oolong, it also has a surprising ability to continue steeping many times. I would be super interested to see how this tea aged.

Getting down to the bottom of the bag on this Classic Laoshan Green Tea of Shandong (Yunnan Sourcing). Higher ratio of smaller pieces, so keeping the temps low and the steeps short.

Oolong Sunday, 2021 Dazuan Organic "Imperial Emerald Magpie" from Taiwan/Yunnan Sourcing. Reluctant to reveal its charms, this is a lovely tea to savor over a long session on a slow Sunday.

Paguashan Wu Yi Natural Farming "Overlord" from Taiwan/Yunnan Sourcing. A bit sad to reach the end of this very nice Taiwanese Oolong tea, but onward!
