It hasn't been discussed so far but wouldn't a fermented tea get
'better' with age? I think aged tea rates with virgin monkeys picking
leaves from trees on cliffs in the moonlight. I also think limited
tasting of tea type isn't good for conclusions. You drink enough
darjeeling and flushes are the main factor. You drink puerh and Qinq
Mao grade is main factor. You drink Ceylon teas and districts are the
main factor. Maybe with yellow tea locale will be more important than
taste. I can say my yellow tea has a different taste but nothing to
lose sleep over if it became stale tomorrow.
