Upton Tea Imports

I once ate canned lychees in syrup, and this tastes like that added to black tea. It’s very sweet and fruity. The lychee flavor goes well with the black tea. I steeped two teaspoons in a 12 oz. mug, then added a teaspoon of sweetener and a drop of milk. I love it. It’s a bit difficult to try to describe it, because all I’m thinking right now is, “Mmm, lychee.”

There used to be a lilac tree in my front yard in Maryland. When I was young my mother would take me out there and we would pick lilacs to bring inside to put in a vase. For the life of me, this takes me back to those happy childhood memories. It is comforting and familiar and the lilac perfume is absolutely intoxicating and tasty. It is warm and rounded and has a way of making one feel good. This is the type of experience that every tea drinker should have. I recommend it wholeheartedly; you will not be disappointed.

Quite possibly my favorite green tea to date. I received this Green tea as part of a set from Upton Tea and almost exclusively drink it compared to the others (In regards to Greens). First infusion I’m certain I cooked the leaves with too hot of water revealing a very vegetal/smoky flavor, but it was still delicious. After having some time getting acquainted with this tea I found the flavor to be similar to sweet artichoke leaf dipped in butter with that smoky note!
