Uptons or Culinary tea?

Sorry I can't give you feedback on Culinary, but wanted to tell you if you like Keemuns that Upton has an absolutely terrific Keemun they call China Keemun Mao Feng, ZK98, at a reasonable price of around $35 a pound even in small quantity.

Agreed. That Keemun Mao Feng is great.

I'm drinking a Keemun Hao Y at the moment, which I had bought a year and a half ago. It is as good or better than it was. Keemun is said to age gracefully. I'm getting that rich cocoa aroma and taste I love in a Keemun. I wonder if that quality increases with the age of the tea. Nice to have a tea that improves with age.

Yes, I order from Culinary Teas that which I don't get from Upton and the friend who referred me there orders their Russian Caravan. Why don't you get samples of the teas in which you're interested to verify that the quality is up to your standard? They come in heat-sealed ziplock bags - very handy.

Correction, should read: They come in ziplock bags (etc.).

Looking at one of my old sample bags, it didn't appear as though I had torn or cut the top off above the ziplock.

Thank you...that was the information I was looking for. I'll be placing my order soon.

Thank you--I'm going to try the Mao Feng when I place my first order at Upton's sometime soon.
