Qianjiang Hubei Jade Organic from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: Hubei, China80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 21st, 2012
This tea was barely like other gunpowder green tea, and much more like other high-grade Chinese green teas. The loose leaf is only loosely rolled, and looks quite delicate.
Aroma is vegetal and light, and suggests sweetness. There's no overt smokiness but there's a suggestion of camphor in the aroma, which I disli...
Kuwapani Estate Makalu Tippy Spl from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Black Tea – Region: Nepal83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 19th, 2012
Lately I've been on a roll, sampling a variety of black teas that continue to be completely unlike any I have had before, and I never cease to be amazed at how diverse they can be. This is yet another black tea that was vastly different.
Fascinatingly complex...very dark, with an aroma quite unlike anything else. ...
Organic China Ku-ki Cha from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Kukicha – Region: China40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 18th, 2012
I was solidly disappointed with this one. Upton's offerings of Japanese styles of tea produced in Japan have been hit-or-miss for me; this and their Sencha were pretty poor, but their Chinese Gyokuro (ZG81) was a pleasant surprise.
Fairly twiggy, mostly stem. Too much astringency and sourness for me. I tried usin...
Golden Nepal 2nd Flush (Kanyam Estate) from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Black Tea – Region: Nepal73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 14th, 2012
Dry leaf consists of large pieces of broken leaf, mostly light brown, with some greenish and silvery.
Strongly reminiscent of a Darjeeling, and with a typical, middle-of-the-road Darjeeling character. Aroma is bright, fruity, and light, with a lot of the muscatel grape quality. There's also a hint of spruce needle...
TM40: Singalila Estate SFTGFOP1 from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Black Tea – Region: Nepal70 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 11th, 2012
This tea surprised me. I didn't think I'd like it much based on the smell of the dry leaf, but I like it a lot. It has a nice smooth, sweet flavor. I added cream and sugar.

Putharjhora Estate FTGFOP1 Tippy/Cl First Flush Organic from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Black Tea – Region: India93 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jan. 10th, 2012
Wow! This tea is fascinating, unlike anything else I've ever tried, and very enjoyable.
The dry leaf smells faintly Darjeeling-like, but it has a distinctive hint of an aroma that I can only describe as reminiscent of the forest floor in coastal Maine woods, that sort of mossy, acidic, gravely soil with wintergreen...
Golden Garden Estate FBOPF Ex. Spl. from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 10th, 2012
The first time I made this tea, I brewed it too long (5 minutes) and it was really strong, and too bitter, but when I brewed it for 3 minutes, it was just right. I often like my tea really strong and I have to brew it for a long time. This tea is good. It tastes a lot like other Ceylon teas I've tried, which I usually ...

I would rate this in the 'top 3' of all the teas I have tried. Very smooth and tasty. Fantastic aroma. Easy to sip all day long. Excellent!

Jan. 7th, 2012
One of the strangest teas I have had in some time!
The dry leaf, with lots of of yellowish-gray tips, turns quite dark when brewed. Aroma of the dry leaf is Darjeeling-like, and reminiscent of other Nepal teas, with hints of grape yet an almost smoky, dusty, edgy quality to it. The dry leaf's aroma suggests a more...
Formosa Pouchong from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Pouchong Tea – Region: Taiwan / Formosa83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 4th, 2012
I really like pouchong / bao zhong tea, which is an extremely green oolong, sometimes described as a green tea. A while back, I had requested that Upton Tea Imports add a lower-priced Pouchong to their catalogue, and I was pleased to see that they added this tea. Upon trying it, I am really impressed: it is one of th...

Blue Spring Oolong from Imperial Tea Garden
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: China47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 4th, 2012
After being impressed by a number of teas from Imperial Tea Garden, this one disappointed me a lot. I've experimented a lot with brewing, and it just seems flat and bland.
The leaf is mostly broken and the dry leaf has a dusty, twiggy aroma. I experimented brewing in several ways. This tea holds up to making at l...
Hunan Red Oolong from Imperial Tea Garden
Style: Oolong Tea – Region: Hunan, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 2nd, 2012
This is not the sort of tea I tend to like, but I loved this one, which I think is a testimony to its quality. I tend to like stronger-tasting teas with more bitterness. But I enjoyed this tea greatly.
Visually, the loose-leaf of this tea looks more like a Bai Hao or Oriental Beauty oolong than other Chinese oolon...

Jan. 2nd, 2012
Another very good black tea from Upton Tea Imports, above-average for Upton's Ceylons, which I tend to like less than their Indian black teas. Middle-of-the-road black tea character, but very well-executed.
This tea is broken into small, wiry pieces of already small leaf, which unfurl upon brewing. Brewed as instr...
Royal Tajiri Tea from Royal Tea of Kenya

Dec. 31st, 2011
This tea is a little weird. I'm not quite sure what to think of it. It's kind of bitter, and has a bitter aftertaste that I don't like very much, but it has a really deep flavor that I kind of like. I added cream and sugar.

White Peony (Pai Mu Tan) from Adagio Teas
Style: White Peony Tea – Region: Fujian, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 29th, 2011
I'm very naive when it comes to white teas and prefer stronger blends myself. Even I can clearly tell this is a quality tea, very smooth and light 'clean' taste with a tad touch of grassiness. Sugar would likely kill it as it's naturally sweet on its own. Uplifting and refreshing, just not something I'd drink normally ...

Great value! Good price, good taste, but their Ceylon tea is better. I'm really impressed with Ahmad Teas.

Assam Melody from Adagio Teas

Dec. 28th, 2011
Wanted to relax tonight before bed, so I thought the perfect way to do this was to take a nice, hot bubble bath, sip some Assam Melody from Adagio teas, and finish the novel I’ve been reading.
I wanted to try a sample that wasn’t too risky since I didn’t want to accidentally grab a sampler I didn’t like and ...
Woo-jeon Korean Green Tea from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Green Tea – Region: South Korea77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
Dec. 26th, 2011
This tea struck me as having a very typical green tea profile, but being very good, and in an intense sort of way. It is intense more than it is strong.
The dry leaf is wiry, very dark green, and consisting of small leaves. Its aroma is strong and suggests a savory quality. The dry leaf smells rather strongly, a ...
Awake English Breakfast Filterbag from Tazo Tea
Style: English Breakfast – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 23rd, 2011
I have to say that, especially for a plain black tea, I find this divine. I’ve purchased a few boxes and it’s a staple go-to tea for a quick cup of tea that’s bold and refreshing when I have little time. I do drink it with sugar (1 tsp.) to enhance the flavor. Deep and rich, careful not to oversteep. My son enjoy...

Fujian Baroque from Adagio Teas

Dec. 23rd, 2011
A good black blend with potent wake-up appeal. Had a strange taste I have trouble identifying, a natural sweetness, and a nice smooth strength. Tea had a decent energy kick to it as I felt rejuvenated drinking it rather than relaxed, which is a good thing depending on the moment. Although the tea is enjoyable, not sure...

Black Tea from Lipton Tea

Dec. 21st, 2011
Pretty much summing up what the other reviews do - a very standard tea where there are others out there that are better. Tried hot it is bland, I only drink it iced and with plenty of sugar if I have it. Seems bitter easily if overdone though, so care with that.

A nice hearty tea with a great smell. Easy to brew for a non-Irish person and still have good tasting tea. I like this tea for my afternoon break - if my regular tea isn't available.

This tea, to my tongue, is bitter and grainy. I was disappointed after reading some good reviews. I guess there is a tea for everyone!
