I have a high regard for Upton Tea, the way they personalize your order with nametags is a little much, but I do appreciate how seriously they take their business.
That said, I am not a big fan of Pu-Erh in general. Earthy teas I like, but this tasted more like decomposition. Since it is the style of tea itself that I like, mayb have gotten a bad batch or may have brewed it incorrectly, I am giving the review some benefit of the doubt, but this was distinctly unpalatable for me.
