If you can identify them, it's good for at least a doctoral thesis although not a Nobel by any means.

I am not aware that oolong is nutty?

I have had some that were, although it was more in the nose than on the tongue.

yes I have a couple of super-fancies from Upton and they are very nutty smelling. Extremely nutty. You're right though more in the smell than the taste though.

I know what you mean, but sometimes a Wuyi oolong reminds me of hazelnuts on the tongue too.
