1.7g, 16oz Zojirushi thermos, boiling, Brita filtered tap. Faded roasted note integrates with slight plum here to give an aroma and taste of gingerbread cookies! Unexpected, but not complaining. Wonder if storing in the same container I used for the 1976 BaoZhong did something to it. Not as warming as before (ratio in effect?), but slightly relaxing. Muted mint in aftertaste. Finding that I enjoy these aged oolongs more at a lighter ratio, for the most part. Less of the medicinal character and more straightforward sweetness, so less complexity than before, but still interesting enough to keep it enjoyable.

Just a chronicle of a stranger’s tea journey. Keeping old notes up to see progression, but no longer really believe in all of them. Trying to learn!! Weekend warrior mostly now; work is tough.
As of 4/21/21, I will no longer assign numerical ratings to a tea unless it is terrible enough to warrant one. There are a fair amount of solid teas out there, and reading mildly subjective reviews from others > very subjective numerical rating that gets skewed by Steepster’s calculating system anyway.
