A lot of un-oolongs, but what can I do?

Drinking "Lao Cong" Shui Xian (not zheng yan), which is almost two years old now. When I first received it, the roast was too fresh and needed to calm down. Even 5 months ago or so, when I last tasted it, I thought it might be over-roasted. Trying this tea in the past two weeks, it's been much better. Sweeter and not over-roasted, if a bit boring.

Time works wonders on oolongs!
