What is the tea you always come back to?

I've liked all the organic Nilgiri from Upton I have tried. Toci

TN68 and TN96 are still being sold. Toci

I highly recommend a yellow tea - Jun Shan Yin Zhen (ZG59). It is light and slighty fruity and doesn't get bitter - very easy to brew. I usually use the traditional Chinese method of just adding leaves to a tall glass of hot water. I then add more water as I get close to the bottom. Good luck! TokyoB

ZH52, Ancient Pu-Erh Mini Tuo Cha, is something that I order every month or two (used to take the 1kg sacks when that size was still around). I certainly come back to that one; it's become my basic bolay.

ZH80, Ancient Organic Green Pu-Erh Tuo Cha, though it is by far the most expensive tea on the Pu-erh page, is very good indeed. Shame they don't sell a sample of four mini-tuochas for say, $8 or so.

And speaking of Darjeeling from them, TD39 -- Makaibari Estate FTGFOP1 Second Flush -- is the one of the best for my taste that I've had in a long time. I'm not alone in my appreciation: "Replace the common corporate coffee with this tea, finish a full day'swork by mid-morning, dance & sing with friends until mid- afternoon & by evening write a book entitled, Ain't Gonna Rush No More. By night the wars end & birds speak. It's good tea." (taken from the review by a "Ken Lovesinger")

Happy Europe, Milo (years change with depressing predictability, but continents?)

There was one Nilgiri really panned by somebody else (tasting of stale raisins) so stay close to the order numbers. I've looked up dragonwell's yellow and Ozzy's tou cha; I'll meditate on them. Toci

That review deserves to be seen by all. T^oci

Try the Panyong Congou, and the Malawi BOP. Two very different teas but both excellent and quite inexpensive. I like their second to lowest grade Keemun as well.

Indeed it does, and as far as I can recall that's all the review. I misspoke in the original post. Sorry.

In checking to be sure with the net, I found last night that Uptontea was no longer selling the leaf. Alas! Well, I suppose they didn't buy all the supply from Makaibari, if there's any left out there at all...
