ZK72: Bohea Imperial Organic from Upton Tea Imports

Gal In The Grey Hat drank ZK72: Bohea Imperial Organic by Upton Tea Imports

Being the history nut I am I had to try this tea out. I included a sample of it in my Upton Order. The dry leaf smells like Lapsang, but the tea itself tastes like anything but Lapsang…interesting. I’m getting the slightest hint of chocolate. This really tastes more like a Keemun. Which sure is weird, but I like it! This one will require further sampling! (Tough work right?)

I have only had it once or twice, but I really should get some on my shelf. I understand it is pronounced boo-hee? And is a corruption of the Chinese Wuyi, for Wuyi mountain region.

@ashmara it is mighty tasty. I didn’t know that’s where it got it’s name. But I’m not surprised.

Bio

Tea lover, wife, mother to three cats, reader, and writer. I started drinking and enjoying tea (yes, yes it was Lipton, but it got me started) when my grandmother first introduced me to tea with milk and sugar (and peanut butter and jelly on toast) and my love just grew from there.

I was brought to loose leaf through a trip to Teavana, but my taste has expanded along with my love of tea in general. Now to get my husband to drink some too! :)
