This is for the 2020 vintage. For some reason, for me at least, when it comes to teas, higher prices do not necessarily mean a more satisfying tea. Usually it means more subtle nuances of flavor and aroma. This moderately expensive tea is an example of what I mean. It is fairly mild and there are some light, nippy tannins. Upton recommended a 3 minute steep, which allowed for a second infusion, and that was about as good as the first, which is a plus of course. It is an attractive looking tea, with silver tips. Pretty good overall.
