This cup brews up nice and smooth, I taste mostly the Yunnan in the blend. Maybe there is a hint of metallic caramel aftertaste from the Assam (now called Awesome in my head thanks to a recent tasting note from AJ, lol). The flavors are sweeter and nutty as it cools, this seems like a good candidate for iced tea or an afternoon pick me up. My typical Yunnan/Awesome on the fly mix has more of a bite to it from the Assam so this very smooth tea is a bit bland in comparison.
I enjoyed the cup, but its not something I need in my cupboard.
Flavors: Caramel, Nutty, Smooth

I think I’ve tried this one in the past. I need to drink up my junk stock on ice this summer so I can have an excuse to re-visit the Upton catalog again!
Ha it’s in my head every time, so I’m glad I’m not alone now! :P
Yeah, Awesome tea will be in my head every time I look at “assam” now. Thanks Aj! haha. Upton has been on my list of places to order from for forever now… maybe someday!
