The leaves of this tea are beautiful with plenty of tips. It has a slightly nutty smell and is very mild and smooth. It does have a very slight minty note. It steeps up a light amber color and actually reminds me of a roasted green tea in taste. The tea has sweet undertones as it cools.

This is an interesting tea, interesting in the flavor it has. I can’t place it at all. It steeps up a dark brown and does have a little astringency and just slight bitterness. Its gently robust and has a full mouthfeel. Its not my favorite tea from Upton and I more than likely will not order this again. I feel this tea is better for blending which is what I will do as I have a very light Lapsang Souchong which I can add this to.

I like this tea. Its smooth, earthy, sweet , and has peppery and chocolate notes. Its a nice tea to sit and linger over.

Having my EG this morning. I don’t know why this is my favorite EG, it just is. I have tried many others but I just keep going back to the one. Its not overpowering like some and the price is right on. For me, perfect.

This is a very mild Keemun tea. This is ok for breakfast but I prefer a stronger tea. I think I’m going to use this one for mixing.

Yeah, I made ice tea also using JacquelineM’s recipe. Its just as good as she said it was. I left out the tazo and used splenda. Been drinking this and watching basketball all day.
The only thing different is I can still buy more tea.
