East Frisian BOP

I am not a tea connoisseur, thou after trip to UK and my F&Mason tea ran out, breakfast tea I was finding locally in US was disappointing. Tried 10 or so samples of breakfast style teas from Upton and this was my favorite.

This is a very flavorful breakfast blend. Full-bodied, quite malty and with a smooth finish. Although I take it with a modest amount of milk, I've tried it black, and it is not harsh in the least (at least brewed for 3 min.).

Tried it in the Introduction to Fine Teas sampler. Best cup of Assam I've had. It holds up very well to milk and sugar. I'm ordering more.

This is by far my favorite. It has a rich, earthy flavor without any trace of bitterness. I was never into tea and always an afternoon coffee drinker until tried this. I'm hooked. Thanks

The leaves themselves have a muted look to them. Not as dark as the Assams I usually favor. When brewed, the tea has the color of a medium grade maple syrup, amber. Delicate taste. Sunny start then full, biscuity finish. Good for relaxed Spring mornings. Also lovely iced.

I originally tried this in Introduction to Fine Tea sampler. I ended up buying a bag. Essential it’s a breakfast tea. My stomach is sensitive to the tannins in tea (I usually need lots of sweetener—and in rare cases milk), I’m able to drink this with just a small amount of sweetener. I will definitely be buying this again!

I bought East Frisian tea from a well known tea company for years. Loved it. They changed the blend and it was awful and unrecognizable. I finally found the real thing and I thank Upton tea. Your East Frisian tea is wonderful. A full bodied, malty, mellow cup of tea that is delicious and perfect for mornings and afternoon pick me ups. Perfect!

I am from East Frisia in Germany and this tea is as good as my favorite home brand. It’s the real deal! Thank you for making me feel at home!

With all the teas available at Upton I used to sample different black teas, but I always came back to East Frisian BOP for my every morning tea. I love it with milk. I sometimes add a cinnamon stick to the pot. I even enjoy the leftovers slightly diluted and iced in the summer.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this tea! Meant to purchase the sample size, since I've never tried it before. So glad I accidentally clicked on the bigger size. This tea is malty, strong, sooooo yummy with sweetener and milk. I have a new favorite tea. Almost didn't write a review, because I don't want to compete with other customers over this delicious tea.

I traveled in Switzerland for a number of years. The hotels sold a wonderful tea I couldn't forget. It took me two years, but I discovered it to be this tea sold by Upton. I later found it at a local shop, but it was not even close in flavor. I love this tea and have ordered it many times. Milk and sweetener is best. My favorite!
