ZY82 — Not to be confused with Upton’s Imperial Golden Monkey, ZP85. From Upton’s website – “While this style of tea originated in the Fujian province of China, production is spreading throughout the tea growing regions.

The complex cup has notes of malt, caramel, and a bit of red wine. Origin: China.”
