Jutlibari Estate FTGFOP1

Black Tea by Upton Tea Imports

One of the top Assam offerings for 2009, this tea has a profusion of golden tips. The bracing cup has an intense, multi-layered flavor with a creamy mouth feel. Highly recommended for the Assam lover.

Growing conditions in Assam this year have produced a crop that has an intense flavor, which cups best with the addition of milk.

It’s a nice clean bold black. I don’t quite understand what makes it so special? I mean it is a very delicious tea, and I am enjoying drinking it, but with all those abbreviations I expected something WOW.

Post-Steep Additives: lactose-free fat-free milk

No more astringency, just a nice creamy smooth bold black.

Another TTB Tea…yay!

This reminded me of one of Adagio’s…but for the life of my I can’t remember which one! LOL

Anyhow…it’s bold and full…a little bitter, but by design…Not much for scent but it makes up in the full and busty taste! Pretty Good.

Finishing up my sample from the TTBFULL Strength tea today…just want I need! Woot! Woot!

Deeeeeelicious with milk and sugar. Bold but so smooth. In fact, I can’t wait to have another cup!
