I started drinking tea as a young girl and have loved it ever since. My choices used to be quite simple: English and Irish breakfast blends or strong Earl Grey. A family member finally introduced me to loose leaf tea and from then on, I was hooked. Once I was old enough to buy my own tea, I started to experiment a bit more. I discovered Upton Tea Imports first as a satisfied customer but now enjoy tea daily, as an employee.
My tastes in tea and my appreciation for variety has grown significantly since working here. Though my journey with tea started with a love for strong, hearty breakfast teas, I find that I now prefer lighter, more floral teas, such as lightly oxidized Formosa Oolongs and First Flush Darjeelings. My preferences continue to change and I find new favorites everyday.
This is one of my favorite white teas and a change from the China whites! The sweet and fruity notes and delicate overall flavor make it a great choice in the afternoon.
While I don't usually drink Earl Greys, this selection is an interesting choice. It has lighter bergamot but with other citrus flavors. Tastes good iced, too.
One of my favorite Oolongs! The aroma of the infused leaf reminds me of the beginning of spring when all the flowers begin to bloom. A delicious afternoon treat.
This is my favorite green tea. Because it's roasted, it doesn't have the typical vegetal quality that one comes to expect from a green tea. It has a smooth, toasty flavor with absolutely no bitterness.
