Green Rooibos Poire Creme (BA04) from Upton Tea Imports

Mike Jutan drank Green Rooibos Poire Creme (BA04) by Upton Tea Imports

Oh damnnnn that’s good. I’ve got a runny nose tonight and this is just the tea to get me back up on my feet. Green Rooibos is a new thing for me but I am really enjoying it in general. This reminds me a bit of the epic Adagio grapefruit-flavored tea from Lupicia, similar smooth and tasty base with an interesting fruit flavour on top. sneeze! whew!!!! This tea is really what I need tonight. A nice warmup. Great flavour. I’m pouring a 2nd cup :)

Hello fellow tea nerds!

I’m Canadian and my parents are South African, plus I lived in England and Australia as a kid… so I’m rockin some pretty mad British Empire vibe and thus I’ve been a tea fan for quite some time. I am now totally hooked on loose-leaf. It’s super fun to try a bazillion new kinds of tea and choose the right one for a given moment in a day.

My favourite teas are well balanced, mild, maybe fruity/citrusy or with interesting flavours (eg: silk oolongs, grapefruit green rooibos, jasmine silver needle white tea, melon white tea). I also like a solid malty British or other bold style black teas with some oomph (eg: Yunnan Golden Tips, PG Tips).

Let’s nerd out together about why tea is so friggin’ epic!
