TTBC2 #5
Okay, among all the Upton’s Darjeeling FTOPFTGOPFTFOPs, I think this was the one I had.
It was pretty yummy. I don’t really have much experience with Indian black teas, and the only darjeeling I have had before was the one from thepuriTea. This one made a much better impression on me, though. It almost tasted like some of my favorite Chinese black teas, it was sweet, slightly malty, a little bit toffee-like. But then a sharp but tiny bit of bitterness, that I tend to connect with Indian teas, creeped in. It wasn’t an entirely unpleasant sensation, though. I guess it is something one can get used to and learn to enjoy.
I really have to order a whole bunch of Indian black tea samples from Upton and then compare them against each other and against Chinese ones. How scientific!
LOL. I just had to look up FTGFOPI. Thank goodness for internet searches. I always feel soooo stupid when I have know idea what they mean!
Haha, I remember looking all these abbreviations up one time, but there were so many of them I just gave up on it. I just enjoy the tea! :D
Upton is great for samples: 12g for only a couple of dollars!
I know! And so many different kinds of black teas, too.
