Default Tasting techniques.

With higher grades of tea I often like to focus on the sensation that
it leaves in my body. I find some teas extremely relaxing, whereas
others are the complete opposite. Some are cooling and refreshing,
others are warming and "grounding".

A Da Hong Pao I recently acquired seems to clear my lungs and I feel
like I can breath easier - not disimilar to Vicks! Has anyone had a
similar experience with any teas? Is that a similar sensation to the Qi
that Mike mentioned regarding certain pu-erhs?
