Iyerpadi Estate Organic OP from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Black Tea – Region: Nilgiri, India90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 7th, 2011
What a lovely aroma of fresh, woodsy, sweet florals. Both the dry and wet leaves give off this great scent. The tea liquor is a medium amber and has the very pleasant taste of what I might imagine would occur if the dry forest floor were brewable, crisp, smooth, sweet, somewhat earthy - the dry crisp earthy. Perhaps...

China Keemun Dao Ming from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Keemun – Region: China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 31st, 2010
Oh, what a lovely tea! Earthy, with a heavy influence of red-wine cask, a touch of smoke, a hint of acid. And that's just the smell of the dry leaves and brewing tea. Winey, earthy, sharp, elegant. Just a super tea. At 5 minutes, it has some rough edges, but a small shot of cream took care of those very nicely.

Lapsang Souchong Black Dragon from Upton Tea Imports

Oct. 31st, 2010
Hear me roar! I can't tell if I like it or not, but it is definitely smokey. But it is also very smooth and mellow. I don't think those unfamiliar with LS would like it. It's very good, but somehow, for me, the smoke is a bit wrong.

Yunnan Tippy Select from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Yunnan Red – Region: Yunnan, China87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Oct. 31st, 2010
A smoothie it is. If it weren't for all the spice, woodsiness and a tiny sharp edge, it could just slide down so effortlessly. It smells like new pencils, an old barn in the sun, a little spice, a little chocolate, autumn leaves and an illusive sharpness. It tastes pretty much that way, also. Truly a lovely tea. ...

Ceciliyan Estate FBOPF Ex. Spl. from Upton Tea Imports

Oct. 26th, 2010
Tiny leaves with abundant gold buds. By itself it was only a so-so tea, but with the addition of milk it took a huge leap forward into being very, very good, with a hint of malt on top of a solid dry oak leaf and floral note. The difference was truly amazing. and worthy of the Ex. Spl designation. I would recommend ...

Holy Basil Purple Leaf from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Tulsi / Holy Basil – Region: India87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 28th, 2010
For me, this tea has been an acquired taste. Now, however, it is a favorite. Something about it is very calming - now it is my go-to bedtime tea.
The tea is sweet and spicy, and just the tiniest bit heavy.
Rote Grütze (Red Groats) from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Fruit (Herbal) Tea – Region: Germany63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 17th, 2010
This tea looks like, smells like, and tastes like kool-aid. It was really bad when I drank it hot, and really bad when I drank it iced (cold brewed.) However, something happened when I made it hot, and then iced it - suddenly it was quite tasty. Still kool-aid like, but now refreshing rather than cloying.

Oolong Se Chung from Upton Tea Imports

Aug. 16th, 2010
The striking thing about this tea, believe it or not, is its simplicity.
Indeed it does have some complex attributes, but it is a very easy drinker. The characteristics I liked about this tea were the stone fruit and citrus notes. The roasted quality added some personality to the tea as well, although to my tastes it ...
Devonshire Earl Grey from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Earl Grey Tea – Region: Blend93 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 25th, 2010
This is the newest of Upton's Earl Greys. It has a floral, sweet scent, with a touch of Juicy Fruit gum. This carries through into the taste, but the bergamot increases here, so you are left with a very pleasant cup. They add a bit of lemon or peel to the blend, which deepens the tea. I particularly like it blended...

China Pu-Erh Standard from Upton Tea Imports

Jun. 30th, 2010
I don't particularly like black (ripe) pu-erh, but this is probably the one I've liked most, among loose varieties. It has a fresher taste, with more bite. There are some herbaceous tones in the aroma, although the dominant character is still dust and earth. Much more flavorful than other loose black pu-erh I've tri...

Jun. 25th, 2010
This tea smells simply luscious - it's scent has a mossy, earthy quality, with some fruity hints on top. It tastes lovely iced - it starts out with a deep flavor, and then has a sweet aftertaste that lingers a bit. Even though I used a good amount of tea to brew this, the flavor is still light.

This is a quite good tea. (I'm drinking it iced). It smells fantastic, and reminds me a little bit of Earl Gray. This tea is a bit more delicate than most black teas.

Jun. 5th, 2010
I really enjoy this Yunnan. Great aroma. Excellent flavor. I make a large pot and keep it in a thermos and sip all day. I never add milk or sugar, but it might be a bit "strong" alone for some tastes.

Organic Ho-ji Cha Kamakura from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Hojicha – Region: Kanagawa, Japan70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 13th, 2010
Noticeably different from TJ40...more heavily roasted (tending toward the dark side among all hojicha's I've tried)...very dark brown cup. The aroma is not overwhelmingly roasty, however...there are still a few of the fresh green tea tones present.
Flavor is sour...which I don't like, although there's also a hint o...
South African Honeybush, Grade A from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Honeybush – Region: South Africa70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 6th, 2010
Very fruity, but not in an overwhelmingly sweet way. The aroma has a hint of floral and citrusy qualities, and less of the peppery quality that Upton's BA28 has. Very full-bodied. Interestingly, the color of the liquor is slightly lighter than other honeybushes. Pleasantly sweet aftertaste.
By far the best honey...

South African Rooibos (Red Bush) Super Grade from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Rooibos – Region: South Africa67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 29th, 2010
At the risk of sounding absolutely ridiculous, I'm going to say that this rooibos smells and tastes more like rooibos than any other rooibos I've tried yet!
Woody, with a hint of fruitiness...but also a quality that is slightly reminiscent of paint or socks. Perhaps rooibos is an acquired taste that I'm still not 1...

It wasn't too strong and had a pleasant taste, almost sweet, but not too much.
