Doug Glidden drank TB51: East Frisian BOP by Upton Tea Imports

34 tasting notes

After being thoroughly impressed with the scents of this tea as well as the flavor of the first few sips, I quickly encountered disappointment—not with the tea itself, but with the fact that, in steeping with boiling water, I seem to have burnt the tea. In spite of the burnt flavor, I could tell that this is a great tea; I will have to wait until I find a better steeping temperature before I can recommend it, however.

Preparation

Boiling 3 min, 15 sec 5 tsp 24 OZ / 709 ML

Ratings

I calculate my overall rating of a tea from weighted scores of the dry leaf, wet leaf, and (most importantly) liquor. My overall scoring ranges are as follows:

71–100: These teas are “recommended”. When replenishing my supplies, I am likely to consider purchasing larger quantities of these teas.
50–70: These teas are neither “recommended” nor “not recommended”. When replenishing my supplies, I may consider purchasing sample quantities of these teas, if I feel there is potential for improvement by adjusting the steeping parameters.
0–49: These teas are “not recommended”. When replenishing my supplies, I am very unlikely to consider these teas.
