A nice Yunnan Black

Yunnan Black teas have become a favorite after discovering them from a different vendor. First time with Upton. Nice tea. Aromas of malt and faint hint of chocolate. Brewed 2 sessions in my 2-cup Chatsford pot and the leaves held up well. I'll be ordering again.

Delicate and Nuanced

This Yunnan has a rather light flavor with subtle components. Less pungent, full-bodied or earthy than some of the Yunnan teas I usually prefer. A smooth, refined tasting tea.
