Green Tea by Upton Tea Imports
Superior grade of green tea in the style of gunpowder teas (tightly rolled tea leaves resembling gunpowder pellets).
Value that tastes great!
I can drink this and never tire of it.
This is a pantry staple!
The liquor has a beautiful golden color, a bit yellower than the Formosa Tung-Ting Jade Oolong. Pleasant, soft taste.
It has a bit of a strong odor at first but this mellows as the tea cools, making the tea very gentle.
I’ve been looking for a cheap everyday green as I’m fairly poor right now :( and this is one of the cheapest gunpowders I’ve found while still being decent. Its aroma is smokey with hints of what reminds me very slightly of green rooibos or honey. It’s very buttery and delicious although slightly bitter, but that could probably be softened by a pinch of stevia if you want. I still have a few samples from Upton that I haven’t tried yet, but so far it looks like this will be one I buy in the future. :)
