Doug Glidden drank TP12: Premium China Keemun by Upton Tea Imports

34 tasting notes

I accidentally purchased two samples of this tea (I purchased a sample of it, not noticing that the “Introduction to Fine Tea Sampler” that I ordered at the same time also included a sample of this tea), so I was very much hoping that I would like it. Unfortunately, I was severely disappointed with my first tasting—the flavor was bland and boring, and the beginning of my second cup was quite bitter. I hope I can find a brewing method that produces better results; otherwise, these samples may sit in my cupboard for a very long time.

Preparation

Ratings

I calculate my overall rating of a tea from weighted scores of the dry leaf, wet leaf, and (most importantly) liquor. My overall scoring ranges are as follows:

71–100: These teas are “recommended”. When replenishing my supplies, I am likely to consider purchasing larger quantities of these teas.
50–70: These teas are neither “recommended” nor “not recommended”. When replenishing my supplies, I may consider purchasing sample quantities of these teas, if I feel there is potential for improvement by adjusting the steeping parameters.
0–49: These teas are “not recommended”. When replenishing my supplies, I am very unlikely to consider these teas.
