ZK72: Bohea Imperial Organic from Upton Tea Imports

Amy oh drank ZK72: Bohea Imperial Organic by Upton Tea Imports

I’m just finishing off the last of this sample this morning. I’m definitely picking up on some smoky notes this morning, I was thinking the aroma was similar to a very mild lapsang. I have added it to my ever expanding Upton wishlist – see previous notes for more info.

I would love to buy 100g of this but at the price of $29.20, I’m not sure I can afford it right now. :(

I have to at least buy a sample of this! I thought $29 per 100g was pricey, yet I recently purchasedd FF Darjeeling teas that were more…….go figure! :))

I didn’t realize it was so expensive. I have a few more brews in my sample pack before I need to make a decision.

Bio

My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.

Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it

59-50 Ick

49 and below Nasty
