Yunnan Golden Tip Imperial (ZY77) from Upton Tea Imports

Rachel J drank Yunnan Golden Tip Imperial (ZY77) by Upton Tea Imports

This was on March 1st (day before the previous entry on this tea)

Tried this with a lower temp and shorter steeping than usual and got a smoother flavor out of it with less astringency though still a bit too much for my taste.

Bio

I happily reside in Park Slope, Brooklyn with my husband, our baby son, and our dog. I teach over 40 piano students per week at my home studio and created “Fundamental Keys”, a classical piano method book and video series.

My husband and I are vegan and have been for about 8 years. We are enjoying bringing up our little one in the vegan tradition!

I went through a major tea phase some years ago (2006-2009) and had quite a collection and tasted hundreds of varieties. Then I went off caffeine when I decided to have a baby, and after he was born I got into a nasty coffee habit. Now I’ve come back to tea, thank goodness. I’m finding my tastes have changed quite a bit since my first go at tea fanaticism. Really enjoying some of the amazing and deliciously complex teas I’ve learned about through Steepster!
