The description she uses for her teas are so… bland. I guess they get the point across, and they do it quickly. Perhaps she figures most people aren’t going to really read the descriptions? Do you?
This is another sample from the Chicago Tea Festival. The leaf is a bit more broken than I assume the rest of the batch would normally be.
Dry Appearance: Medium-sized leaves and twigs. Dark brown with a few golden buds.
Initial aroma: Creamy, chocolate, slight honey, woody
Flavor: Woody, milk chocolate, perfumy.
Wet Leaf Aroma: Resin, purple raisins.

When I was still receiving paper catalogs from Upton Tea, I would read every last word like a novel.
@gmathis, as a young gardener, I was the same way with seed catalogs, reading every word!
@Skysamurai, I read the descriptions, repeatedly, along with folks’ tea notes here. I’m amazed at the sensitive and refined taste buds people have, snd their ability to identify specific flavors and aromas!
