6 Tasting Notes

Certified Organic Peppermint (BH46) from Upton Tea Imports
75

VERY aromatic, very tasty, good plain or with honey — all the good cooling volatiles remain in the leaves. Wants a full 2 teaspoons to brew a full-tasting cup. Doesn’t get bitter if left to steep too long, as some peppermint teas do.

2tsp/212F/to taste

Organic Ginger Root (BH10) from Upton Tea Imports
75

EXCELLENT. Good for colds, flus, or just cold days, good iced, good with honey and without. Real, spicy ginger flavor. I get two, sometimes three or four brewings out of a couple teaspoons of dried root.

1-2tsp/212F/to taste

Decaffeinated China Green (ZG09) from Upton Tea Imports
75
Decaffeinated Vanilla EA (TX91) from Upton Tea Imports

Too much vanilla flavor for my taste. Drinkable with milk and honey.

Decaffeinated English Breakfast Ceylon OP (TC09) from Upton Tea Imports
75

Good clean and simple Ceylon flavor. Nothing fancy. My go-to breakfast black tea, the only thing I drink enough of to buy yearly.

CO2 Premium Decaffeinated Earl Grey (TXE9) from Upton Tea Imports
75

Excellent. One of the best Earl Grey teas I’ve ever had — the bergamont flavor is present and strong but doesn’t overwhelm the smooth, clean black tea flavor.

1 tsp leaves, 212F water, steeped to taste.
