Okay up tonight we have the Dayuling from Taiwan tea craft, and Its interesting how your tastes change in a few months. I thought this was good the first time I tried, now I think its much better, Im picking up more of the floral and fruity notes that I didnt last time.
Im also noticing more of the differences between this and other taiwan oolongs like the Alishan. THis is is lighter and definately has a stronger fruit flavor and aroma. Though Im having trouble getting more specific than stone fruit, maybe apricots. There is a bit of honey in it as well, and very slightly of spice nutmeg maybe.
One big difference between this and last time is I have a proper yixing seasoned with green oolongs. Even more than the flavors , the aroma pops when the lid is pulled off.
Still highly recommended
Flavors: Floral, Honeysuckle, Stonefruit, Sweet

Interesting, one of the later infusions I got a tiny little sour taste, and was wondering if something is wrong. Then I noticed that apple, green apple and sour came up on other tasting notes, I guess there is a very slight sourness in it. Maybe thats why I associated it with stonefruits and apricots.
