Tea of the morning here, I am not wanting to get up today and was hoping this would help. This is a 5g sample from Upton tea Imports – the leaves inside are very dark, slender and curly.
I admit I forgot to set a timer so I have no idea how long this was really steeping for. I am getting some chocolate type notes along with spiciness in the finish. It would be interesting to compare this with the Imperial Bohea, which I really love. This isn’t as smoky as the I.B. from what I recall. I’m not sure I got the full flavor profile because of the timing issue but so far my impressions are very good. Definitely more on the mellow side of teas…

I am also a slow starter this morning. I stepped outside to pick some asparagus, radishes, & scallions, & by the time I got back to the house, my head was reeling & my chest was heavy from allergies.
I’m ready to take a nap. :)
I just received this yesterday from Upton. Waiting to have a second cup before I review it, but I like it a lot.
