Spent time yesterday with this Blue Mark Zhongcha. This is a nice tea with good age behind it. Loosely pressed so it is easy to work with. Leaves offer a thick, sweet, viscous tea liquor with good mouth action and a lingering aftertaste. A dark sweetness dominates the flavor profile but the aging process has also introduced a hearty woody base – the combination is very appealing and offers a warm and spicy presence. The true character of “old tea” is undeniable.

I tried this one two days ago! I love it! I agree with you in the spicy/spice notes, I’ll say that to me it perfectly resembled the after taste of drinking aged spiced rum (and I’m from Puerto Rico) ;)

I drink mostly puer and sometimes what we as Westerners think of as black tea.

I no longer assign numerical ratings to teas because our enjoyment of tea is very subjective. Reactions to a particular tea vary from person to person and within the same person across different tasting sessions.

My tea notes are simply comments reflecting my impression at that specific point in time. They are helpful to me and if they happen to be useful to someone else that is good.

For me, tea is magical with its ability to transform by bringing one back to center and inspiring both peace and contentment.
Reformed coffee drinker. Switched to tea as part of my goal to work on living a healthier, more balanced life — haven’t looked back since.
