Alex, no flame from me. I agree with the assessment that they are closer to
the Wuyi style (which I also like). I'll second the vote for dancong; I
have one from Teaspring that is just lovely - there's a spiciness (mace,
perhaps?) in the first infusion, and in the second a lovely peach note. I
have another from Jing Teashop that's great too. I like jade TGY
(green/floral), but IMHO it's hard to find really balanced ones; a lot of
them are too one-dimensional.
