Commercial Description
This broken-leaf tea offers Sikkim enthusiasts an excellent value. The uniform leaves yield a rich and pleasant liquor in a brief 1.5 to 2 minutes. Compares favorably with many whole-leaf selections, but at a fraction of the cost. Highly recommended.
Brewing Instructions: (from Upton Tea Imports)
2¼ g/cup, 212°F, 1½-2 min.

Mellow, muted, greener in character for a black tea, but bland. Similar to TD06, Upton's broken-leaf Darjeeling blend, but I don't like it as much; it's less floral and the aroma is weaker overall. I recommend steeping 3 minutes or more, otherwise it's too weak. This tea can acquire some astringency, but not as much as TD06. This tea is perhaps a tiny bit more bitter, but it lacks crispness.
Among Upton's high-grown broken-leaf teas I prefer TM20 strongly.
