Upton does a great job of explaining their teas without degrading into pseudo poetry or lengthy theatrical tomes. I got a sample of this to try but kind of wishing I had gotten more (but no, I don’t need any more tins of green tea! Bad Amy!).
The aroma of the wet leaf is very fresh and almost floral tasting. I am finding this to be very soft on the palate and am not finding the astringency they speak of. It is lightly vegetal like roasted corn and with a hint of smoke but also a fruit like sweetness (perhaps lychee).
This is an excellent selection for the price – $5.80/125 grams as I write this. It also resteeps very well.

I read their print catalog like a novel ;)
I do too. It’s in the bathroom though – lol!
Bathtub reading!
In fact – I dropped mine in the bathtub and it got all wrinkly. :)
What tea through yonder teapot steeps?
@Dylan – ha!
Dylan you Bard!
I read and reread their catalogs alot, but mine almost never get wet. :))
