Pai Mu Tan Imperial ZW55 from Upton Tea Imports

El Monstro drank Pai Mu Tan Imperial ZW55 by Upton Tea Imports

Kind of has a bright, refreshing flavor. There is this flavor in the background that slightly reminds me of… plantains maybe? Also, it reminds me of some of the darjeeling teas I have tried. Hard to describe beyond that. The cooler the temperature gets the more I’m enjoying it.

I’ll have to try them, the mofongo sounds especially interesting with the garlic in it.

Bio

I’ve been drinking tea since I was a youngin’, as a way of relaxing before bed. I ventured out from bagged, mass produced tea when I tried some loose leaf Earl Grey at the old man’s house years back. I’m still not too proud for the occasional bagged stuff, saving my snobbery for rare craft beer. I gravitate towards chinese black-tea varieties, Japanese greens, unflavored oolongs, and the occasional “I cant sleep” type of herbal teas. I signed up so I can keep track of the teas I’ve tried, and what I want to keep in my cupboard on the regular.

Currently on the never-ending search for the perfect Thai iced tea.
