I have had some that were, although it was more in the nose than on the
tongue. yes I have a couple of super-fancies from Upton and they are very nutty smelling. Extremely nutty. You're right though more in the smell than the taste though.

Wine tasters are a little better organized than tea men when it comes
to identifying aromas. Tom Stevenson in his aide memoire to wine tasting aromas, tastes and causes mentions two nut aromas - almond and hazelnut. Almond aroma is attributed to the presence of five chemical volatiles - three of which may be found in manufactured tea (benzaldehyde, furfaral, and 5-methyl-furfaral). Hazelnut aroma is given by another four volatiles - three of which have been found in tea (2-acetylthiazole, 4-methylthiazole, and trimethylpyrazine). There may of course be other nutty volatiles in tea that do not appear in wine Nigel at Teacraft On Dec 8, 11:22*pm, Lewis Perin wrote: (Scott Dorsey) writes: juliantai wrote: [...] I am not aware that oolong is nutty?
