Hit 100 unique Chinese tea samples this month

I started keeping track back in January just out of curiosity, and somehow I passed 100 different teas this past Tuesday. That includes oolongs, puers, greens, and a few random whites I found at a shop in Flushing. The one that really got me was a 2015 sheng puer that tasted like wet forest floor and apricot at the same time. I honestly didn't think I'd get that deep into tasting notes, but I've got a whole notebook now with little ratings. Has anyone else here gone past a hundred or am I just going overboard with this hobby?

Kinda wild to take notes on it like it's a science experiment.

Did you catch that episode of the Tea Curious podcast where they talk about how tracking notes changes your perception of flavor? I swear that's what got me hooked on the little details.
