Duflating Estate FTGFOP1 Cl/Spl.

Black Tea by Upton Tea Imports

Several selections from this estate set record prices in the Calcutta auctions this year. We were fortunate to pick up this lot, which has an intense flavor profile, rich maltiness, and stunning leaf. An exceptionally fine Assam tea.

Oh yum! A very nice full flavored but light assam. I found it slightly…lemony? A reviewer on the Upton site said it tasted almost like a Ceylon, and I have to agree. I really like it. Milk and sugar!

Today is the first day of the Spring 2010 semester at the University I work at. I’ve been doing this for almost ten years, so I knew today would be GUARANTEED INSANITY! I took this tea from my cupboard at home because it’s such an even-keeled Assam: not too bold, not too weak. I hoped it would give me an even-keeled disposition to deal with these lines of students! I do feel much better after this delicious cup, even though it sat there getting cold as I dealt with student, after student, after student. Such is life in the Registrar’s Office!
