TM58: Kuwapani Estate Makalu Tippy Spl from Upton Tea Imports

The only thing I can figure is that I must have not been very generous with the leaves when I first tried this. It does have some Darjeeling/Oolong personality—I won’t retract that—but it has some really nice bass notes. (I’m a sucker for a good bass—Oak Ridge Boys and Statler Brothers come to mind.)

Actually, the first bass line that nearly always comes to mind is the “Now LET us..” part of “Have A Little Talk With Jesus :)” Which, no matter what bass is singing it, has to lean way-y-y-y into the mic with that funny bass bendy-knee move.

Bio

Somebody asked me once when I became a tea junkie; I think it dates back to college when I needed caffeine for a 7 a.m. class but chose not to do coffee. My favorite teapot is a medium-sized Brown Betty given to me by my Mema; the painted flowers are chipping off, but the size and feel is perfect. I rejoice when I get a morning to brew a pot of loose tea starting with a kettle; not a bag and a hot pot.
