A sliver of golden sun lights up the horizon as the brightly-clad workers move through the tea fields,

their large baskets suspended behind them from colorful headbands that balance neatly on their

heads. As the sun welcomes them, they pluck the tea leaves, their graceful movements showing their

deep connection with their work and their land. Tea is more than a commodity in Nepal; it is a way of life.

The green leaves from this farm will be combined with the leaves from many other farms and transported to

a factory for processing. The majority of tea grown in Nepal comes from small farms, most under 3 acres.

For many years, the leaves were sent over the border into India to be processed and sold as part of

Darjeeling tea lots. It was only in the latter part of the 20th century that tea picked in the fields of Nepal was

sold under its own country’s name. But, why is this so and how did the tea plant originally come to Nepal?

NOTEWORTHY... Over two dozen new teas have been added to

this issue of our newsletter. You may find each new

listing marked by an arrow in the outside margin.

Our 2018 buying season has been bountiful,

with many wonderful teas sampled over the last

four months. We have purchased exciting new

selections from India, Nepal, China and Japan.

In this newsletter, we are excited to introduce

five 2018 Pre-Chingming teas. You may find them

on pages 18-19.

Our list of naturally flavored teas and herbals

continues to grow. You may find them sprinkled

among the offerings on pages 40-47. More teas are due

to arrive this fall. As always, new teas will be posted

on our website, www.uptontea.com, as they arrive.

First-time customers are often surprised to see

that packets and tins of tea are personalized. Those

who prefer no personalization, or who wish to have

alternate names printed on certain packets, may

specify their choice while ordering. Web customers

may do so in the Shopping Bag (Add a Personalized

Label Field). Refer to Our Packaging on page 8 for

limitations and additional information.

A Note to our Valued Customers:

There are twenty-four new teas in our fall catalog, including the eight Nepal teas that are featured

in our Upton Tea Quarterly article. We are also introducing a natural flavored Lemon Drop black tea

(NF30 on page 29), an extraordinary tea that has taken us a year to develop. This tea has a robust lemon

flavor, making it a wonderful cup - hot or iced. For those customers looking for a new decaffeinated

tea, we also have a decaffeinated Lemon black tea (NX30 on page 44) available now. The overwhelming

response to our Colombian teas has inspired us to introduce a Colombian Breakfast Blend tea (TSA6

on page 32). Exclusively blended for us by the Bitaco Tea Estate, this new Colombian offering has a

rich, distinctive flavor that takes milk well. We are confident that you will enjoy these outstanding

new teas as much as we do.

Located less than one mile from our office in Holliston, Massachusetts, Boston Honey is a small

company that has been in business for twenty-two years. Last May, we received an e-mail from one of

our customers who suggested that we collaborate with this local honey company. We thought it was an

excellent idea and we are now selling Boston Honey’s Massachusetts Raw Wildflower Honey. Boston

Honey’s Massachusetts apiaries spread across the farms of Concord, the revolutionary battlefields

of Lincoln, the community centers in Weston as well as other public park lands. The abundant, local

floral sources in those areas produce a honey with a unique, complex flavor, perfect for enjoying with

our teas. You may find our Raw Wildflower Honey listed on our website (page 4).

We are excited to share our new website features with you. You can now store and manage multiple

credit cards in your online account. In addition, there is a “Buy Now” function that allows customers

to submit their orders in 3 to 4 clicks. These enhancements will simplify the online ordering process

and improve your experience on our website. Another function that was recently added is an email

notification for out-of-stock teas. If, by chance, a tea is temporarily out of stock, customers can sign

up to be notified by email when the tea becomes available.

You may have noticed that we are selling the tin size variation for only our bestselling teas now. We

have now added the functionality to quickly add an empty tin and extra tea label to your purchase of a

single packet size. This will allow you to package any of our teas into a tin, at your convenience. In the

coming weeks, this feature will expand from a small list of teas to a larger variety of teas. At Upton Tea

Imports, we are always working to improve and make your tea experience with us as enjoyable as possible.

One last note: Upton Tea Imports will be celebrating our 30th anniversary next year. We are

planning a few surprises that we know you will enjoy. Stay tuned for more details that will appear in

our winter catalog.

Thank you for your valued business.

Happy tea drinking... The Staff at Upton Tea Imports

FOR THOSE WHO ENJOY RECEIVING OUR NEWSLETTER

Unlike mainstream mail-order companies, we do not flood the mail with catalogs; only four issues of the Upton Tea Quarterly are mailed each year. We only send a catalog to customers who

request it and who order with some regularity, which can be as little as once every two years.

New callers who do not specify that we send only one catalog will receive approximately six catalogs over an eighteen month period. Those who place at least one order during that period will continue to receive the Quarterly.

There have been a few instances where customers have been ordering regularly and suddenly stop receiving our Quarterly, even though they prefer to continue receiving it. The simple example is where a customer has moved and not notified us of their change of address. Normally, bulk mailings do not receive forwarding service from the U.S. Post Office.

A customer who establishes a new web account will be automatically added to the mailing list for our printed catalog. If you prefer to not be on our mailing list, please call our Customer Service department during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm EST) if you have any questions.

PACKAGING OPTIONS Please note that we personalize the labels on our packets of tea, unless you request that we not do so. The default name on the packet label is the ship-to recipient. Any text, up to 36 characters, may be substituted for the recipient’s name. There is no limit for personalization. Our teas are offered in sample quantities as well as a range of packet sizes and optional tin. The smallest size packet is referred to as a single packet or standard packet. In most cases we pack the standard packet with 125 grams (4.4 ounces). The gram weights in our price list are indicated in the columns to the right of the tea header as indicated below. The single packet size may also be available in a plug-top British style tea tin at $2.00 above the single packet price. Tins contain the same net weight as that listed in the column immediately to the left of the “In Tin” column. We also offer extra large (-H) packet sizes and jumbo (-K) packets in some cases. Note that packets are heat-sealed to protect freshness. Single- and double-size packets are resealable with a convenient zip-lock closure.

WEIGHTS OF MOST TEASLarge-leaf teas are packed in smaller quantities, depending on the boldness of the leaf. Thus, a standard packet may contain 100 grams or less (refer to the headers above the price). We package teas in multiples of 2, 4 and 8 times the standard packet size. The label on the front of the packet lists the actual net weight.

WEIGHTS OF BULKIER TEASOur teas are hand-packed by us in a variety of sizes. Larger packet prices reflect the savings incurred by us in labor, as well as reduced margins for large quantity purchases. Savings will vary depending on the scarcity and cost of the tea. When ordering the largest size packets, we recommend dispensing a portion of the tea into a small canister which can serve for daily use. Remember to roll the top of the larger bag tightly to remove excess air before sealing to minimize air exposure and maintain freshness. We suggest ordering only the amount of tea which will be consumed in three months.

TEAS OF NEPAL / HIMALAYAN TEAS

Situated high in the Himalayas, Nepal has a climate similar to that of the Darjeeling region of India. As such, Nepal teas are often compared to pricier Darjeeling teas. Nepal black teas are rich and inviting, while Nepal green teas are buttery and sweet. Whichever variety you choose, a pleasant cup and clean taste await.

All of our Nepal selections were grown in the rolling hills of the Ilam district. “Located in eastern Nepal, the Ilam district stretches across two geographical belts, the lowland region of Terai and the upper hilly region of Pahad. Carrying on the legacy of the first tea estates set up there, Ilam is the major tea producer in Nepal today. Its name is a joining of two words from the Limbu language: “I” meaning “winding” and “Lam” meaning “the way.” – excerpt from “Nepal Tea – Rising to New Heights” (page 49)

CHINA PU-ERH TEAS Sample 125g In Tin 250g 500g 1 Kg

This tea is named after the town of Pu-Erh in Yunnan province, where it originated. It is produced from the large-leaf Yunnan variety of tea and it is made in loose-leaf form and cakes of various sizes, including compressed tuo cha (small, bowl-shaped cakes). Pu-Erh tea has a unique character due to a double fermentation (oxidation) process which imparts an earthy flavor and aroma. Those unfamiliar with this tea are urged to try a sample before buying larger quantities. Pu-Erh teas are especially appropriate for multiple infusions, and yield a flavorful cup even when using less tea than that recommended for other types of tea.

TEAS OF SRI LANKA

TEAS OF SRI LANKACeylon - or modern-day Sri Lanka - has one of the world’s oldest tea empires. British tea planter, James Taylor, introduced the first tea plantation to Ceylon in 1867, where the teas thrived in the cool, humid climate. The tea-growing regions of Sri Lanka are clustered mostly among the mountains of the island’s central region and its southern foothills. Like the great wine-growing regions of France, the tea country of Sri Lanka is divided into seven strictly defined districts, each of which is known for producing teas of a particular character. Each district presents a unique combination of climate and terrain that leaves its mark on the tea it produces. We are pleased to offer teas from all seven districts.

FRUIT & FLAVORED TEAS AND DECAFFEINATED TEAS



PREMIUM DECAFFEINATED TEASAll decaffeination processes used for tea are problematic, and remove flavor as well as caffeine. Teas flavored after decaffeination, such as Earl Grey, will be less compromised, since the added flavoring oils constitute the dominant flavor component. Even these, however, lack some of the character that tea drinkers appreciate. There is one company that is approaching this problem in a unique way. They start with grades of tea that would ordinarily be considered too good for the flavor-robbing decaffeination process. They then sort the final product to eliminate most of the smaller leaf particles that decaffeination produces. Predictably, the result is a superior final product.

At Upton Tea Imports, we find it easiest to use an electric kettle to heat the water to the boiling point, then place the stem of the thermometer into the kettle between the lid and rim, and monitor the temperature until it lowers to the desired level. Caution: Let the water cool a bit before removing the lid of a kettle and use extreme caution to avoid exposure to hot steam.

Note that the steeping temperature on our packets is a recommendation only. You may find that certain teas are more suited to your palate when steeped at a higher or lower temperature. Vary the steeping temperature and length of time to achieve the desired strength and flavor profile that optimizes your enjoyment. As always, there is no substitute for experimentation.

When using this thermometer for other purposes, do not expose the dial face and plastic lens to high heat. Note that calibration may be required occasionally to make sure the boiling point matches the appropriate temperature for boiling water at your altitude. The adjustment nut at the base of the thermometer dial will rotate the dial face for simple calibration adjustments. Made in China.

TEA ACCESSORIES



In 1873, a colonel by the name of Gajraj

Singh Thapa, the son-in-law of Nepal’s prime

minister, traveled over the eastern border to

Darjeeling, India. While he was there, he toured

the tea fields. Everywhere he went, he was

offered a cup of tea. He fell in love with this

new Indian beverage made from the leaves of

the young Darjeeling plants. When he returned

to Nepal, he wanted to recreate this pleasurable

experience for his own people. With young tea

saplings that were gifted to his father-in-law

from the Chinese government, he set up the

Ilam Tea Estate, followed two years later by

the Soktim Tea Estate, both located in the Ilam

district in eastern Nepal. To this day, a signpost

stands on the Ilam Estate, acknowledging the

birth of the Nepali tea industry to Thapa.

How tea came to Nepal is an interesting

juxtaposition of historical events. Robert Fortune,

a Scottish botanist working for the British East

India Company, disguised himself as a Chinese

merchant to gain access to forbidden areas

of China, mainly remote sections of Fujian,

Guangdong and Jiangsu provinces. From 1848-51,

Fortune secreted over twenty thousand tea

plants and seeds out of China and shipped them

to Darjeeling, India. Unfortunately, many of these

plants did not survive in Darjeeling; however,

the Chinese tea workers who were also illegally

smuggled out of China would prove instrumental

in helping to establish what would become a

flourishing tea industry in Darjeeling. It was the

tea processed from this eventual success that

inspired Thapa to bring tea to Nepal. Rather than

having to smuggle tea plants into Nepal, Nepal’s

prime minister received them as a gift from China.

Legends and ancient texts that mention Nepal

date back to the 30th century BC. Local stories

tell of a Hindu sage named "Ne" who protected

the valley of Kathmandu in prehistoric times.

Considered the “crossroads of ancient civilizations,”

the valley lies at the heart of Nepal and is

now its most populated area. The word “pala”

means place in the sacred language of Pali,

which is found in Hindu and Buddhist religious

texts. The founder of Buddhism, Buddha

Shakyamuni, was born a royal prince in 624 BC

in an area that is now part of southern Nepal.

When the first tea plants were sending out shoots

in Nepal, the country was under the governance of

an autocracy called the Rana Dynasty. Their reign

and policies resulted in the country’s isolation

from the rest of the world. Unlike the successful

growth of the nearby Darjeeling tea industry

under British colonial rule, the young Nepali tea

industry failed to modernize and thrive.

The first shift occurred in the 1950s when a

new constitution for a democratic system was

written. Nepal opened up to the world and its

underdeveloped tea industry was given new life

from outside investments. Soon thereafter, the

Nepal Tea Development Corporation (NTDC) was

formed to aid in the revival. In 1978, the first tea

processing factory was opened, enabling Nepali

tea leaves to be processed in the country, rather

than being sold to factories in Darjeeling. Over

the next twenty years, the NTDC encouraged

and helped small farmers to grow tea as a cash

crop. To this day, these “smallholders” make up

a large percentage of tea growers in Nepal.

With the National Tea and Coffee

Development Board Act of 1992 acting as a

catalyst, the turn of the century saw a National

Tea Policy 2000 adopted by the government

of Nepal. Private interests came to dominate

what was once a government-run industry.

Orthodox tea producers joined together and

created the Code of Conduct to help them

improve the quality and marketing of their

tea: respect towards nature, respect towards

humans, respect towards the production system,

and respect towards quality. Tea has played a

significant role in improving the quality of life

for the people of Nepal.

wide. (See map on right.) Located in South Asia,

it is landlocked on three sides by India with

China on its northern border. Three distinct

geographical areas run east-west in the country.

Bordering India to the south is Terai, a lowland

region containing some hills. The mid-region

known as Pahad, with elevations from 2,625 to

13,123 feet, is mountainous but does not usually

contain snow. The northernmost region, Himal,

contains the highest elevations in the world,

including Sagarmatha, or Mount Everest, at an

altitude of 29,029 feet above sea level.

Located in eastern Nepal, the Ilam district

stretches across two geographical belts, the

lowland region of Terai and the upper hilly

region of Pahad. Carrying on the legacy of the

first tea estates set up there, Ilam is the major tea

producer in Nepal today. Its name is a joining of

two words from the Limbu language: “I” meaning

“winding” and “Lam” meaning “the way.”

Upton Tea Imports has been selling tea from

Nepal for over 20 years. Our selection has grown

from a modest two teas offered back in the early 90s

to eleven Nepal teas offered now, including eight

new teas from the 2018 season. You may find our

Nepal tea section on pages 16-17 in this quarterly.

One of our tea partners recently shared, “It

is good timing to showcase Nepal, the land of

the mighty Himalayas…their teas have come a

long way. I have been in love with Nepal teas for

a long time. My first trip there was in 1985…I got

taken in by the beautiful lush landscape of the

high-grown tea gardens of Nepal, which were

so similar to Darjeeling. I recall those early days

with great passion. The future is very promising

for them…there is still a lot more potential to

be nurtured. I wish them well and hope they go

from strength to strength in the years to come…”

We are excited to introduce eight teas from the

2018 season in Nepal. Our first set of teas comes

from four premier estates in the Ilam district. They

all exhibit character similar to a Darjeeling tea.

Sitting on the eastern Sakhejung Hill Range

of Ilam district, at elevations of 3,000-5,400

feet, the Sakhira Estate was founded in 2000

by a quality-conscious group of farmers. Their

goal is to produce specialty loose leaf teas to

share with the world. We are excited to offer an

SFTGFOP Cl. Tippy black tea from this estate

(TM25). With a generous amount of silver tips,

the well-made, olive green leaves have a fresh

aroma. Steeping the leaves for 3 minutes in

boiling point (212F) water, the infusion (wet

leaf aroma) is slightly vegetal with a suggestion

of fruity sweetness. The sparkling amber gold

liquor exhibits an herbaceous fragrance with an

undertone of flowers. The floral notes bloom in

the smooth cup, with a liveliness that plays at

the edges of your palate, ending on a crisp, clean

note. This tea has a first flush flavor profile.

Located at an altitude of 4,200 feet, the small

village of Jitpur is home to the Mist Valley Estate.

The gardens on this estate were first planted in

1988 but did not see a measurable harvest until

2004. Since then, they have been producing high

quality teas and processing them in their own

facility on-site. Our offering from the Mist Valley

Estate (TM95) is a broken-leaf black tea with

the leaf nomenclature TGBOP1. In hues ranging

from light to dark brown, the small, neatly-made

leaves have a sprinkling of silver tips. Steeping

the leaves for 1 1/2 minutes in boiling point (212F)

water produces a golden amber liquor with a

light, fresh aroma. A vegetal hint may be found

in the infusion. The flavor is rich with floral notes

and a sweet, lingering finish.

The largest organic tea garden in Nepal,

Shangri-La Estate, was founded in 1999. With

elevations climbing to 5,000 feet, they are also

one of the highest estates in the Ilam district.

They work together with over 600 small farmers,

conducting education programs on organic

farming practices as well as social programs that

benefit their local community. Our black tea

selection from the Shangri-La Estate (TM91) is a

beautiful mix of dark brown leaves with flecks of

small green leaves and silver tips, an FTGFOP1 Cl.

Kathmandu

leaf style. A 3-minute steep in boiling point (212F)

water results in a rich golden liquor with a sweet

floral aroma, hinting of almond. The wet leaf

aroma (infusion) reveals notes of stone fruit. The

cup has a first flush profile, with notes of flowers

complemented by hints of fruit and almonds.

Having a long history of working with small

farmers on organic practices and raising cows,

the Gorkha Estate sits very close to Darjeeling,

only five miles away. With elevations averaging

4,500 feet, their business model is diverse-

growing tea in their own fields as well as

purchasing green leaf from local farmers and

processing it all in their own factory. Our

black tea offering from the Gorkha Estate

(TM55) displays russet brown leaves and

silver tips, an SFTGFOP Cl. Tippy leaf style. A

golden amber liquor is produced from a

3-minute steep in boiling point (212F) water.

The aroma is rich and fragrant with notes of

peach. This note is also prominent in the cup,

lingering long into the finish. The infusion

has the aroma of dark grapes.

The next set of teas was grown by a group

of small farmers in the Jasbirey community, a

small village set in the rolling hills of Ilam, with

elevations of 4,000-6,000 feet. Each self-employed

farm family plucks their own leaves, giving

them a deep connection with all they produce.

This remote land is home to a bio-diverse

environment that provides a home for many

endangered species of wild flora and fauna.

An abundance of large, silver tips contrasted

against twisted, dark brown leaves distinguishes

our first selection of these fine teas, called

Himalayan Imperial Black (TM01). A 3-minute

steep in boiling point (212F) water produces a light

golden liquor with a pronounced cocoa aroma.

The infusion exudes a warm toasty fragrance.

A caramel-like sweetness introduces a smooth

cup with light floral notes. A fruity hint and

refreshing pungency hit the palate in the finish.

Our next selection, called Nepal Golden Tips

(TM02), consists of large, golden tips, neatly

twisted. The small downy hairs may be seen

when you look closely at the dry tips. A rich

amber liquor is produced from a 3-minute steep

in boiling point (212F) water. A warm toasty/

cocoa aroma is highlighted by a suggestion of

red wine in both the cup and infusion. Notes of

malt and cocoa create a thick, velvety smooth

mouth feel that lingers into the finish.

Nepal Golden Black Snail (TM03) is our third

selection of this unique group of teas. It is so named

for its loosely rolled spiral-shaped, golden-tipped

leaves. A 4-minute steep in boiling point (212F)

water results in a dark amber liquor with a semi-

sweet cocoa aroma. This cocoa quality is also

evident in the infusion as well as the flavor. Hints

of red wine play at the edges of a thick, rich mouth

feel, creating a smooth, satisfying cup. Those who

love the cocoa notes found in our Yunnan Black

Snail (ZY07), joined with the clean, crisp character

of a Nepal tea, will enjoy sampling this tea.

Nepal Green Tea (TM04) completes our

high-quality offerings from the 2018 harvest in

Nepal. Large, twisted leaves in shades of olive

green produce a pale gold liquor redolent with a

toasty/nutty aroma. The infusion exhibits a sweet

vegetal fragrance. The smooth cup is rich and

flavorful with a lively mouth feel and lingering

hints of fruit and nuts. This tea is a great choice

Upton Tea Quarterly

“I have been enjoying teas from Nepal for over twenty years. I love their wide

range of aromas and flavors. From crisp floral to rich fruity to warm cocoa, there

is a tea to satisfy a variety of preferences. I turn to the lighter first flush teas in the

warmer months. In the winter, I choose the rich, full-bodied selections to warm up. I

encourage you to experiment and discover your favorite Nepal teas.”
