All of them? Some moreso than others?
Scotto was kind enough to send me some peacock of Mengsong that was pretty tasty.
In descending order:
Menghai was great
Mengsong was very nice indeed
Bada was very nice indeeed
Nannuo was nice
Bulang was tweaked and generally mediocre
Your YMMV may vary!

Where do you find the time to sample so many teas?
So much to learn, so many teas to try. Well, I am getting a good start anyway.
If I ever get to the stage where I have to take a sip, swirl it around my mouth, and then spit it out, the way professional wine tasters do, would someone please be kind enough to put a bullet in my head? TIA
Thanks for posting this thread, as it led me to Hobbes' wonderful blog entry of 12/5.
uhm, so how does peacock taste? is it gamey like pheasant?
have gun, will travel
Very nice, sweet, more like a Grouse than a Pheasant.
Time is one thing in short supply at the moment! I enjoy a session every other day or so, an hour before I get started in the morning. It makes for 2-3 new teas per week, a few old favourites, that sort of thing.

Menghai blew me away Bulang and Bada left me wanting more but still good teas. these are the only ones I have tried, I want the full set for a comparative tasting but no... too pricy
At this point in the thread I'm both hungry and thirsty!
