Yes actually I like the Chisunga Estate Malawi BOP from Upton very well for
a basic breakfast type with milk and sugar. I like it better thatn the
Kenyan CTC that I've tried. I will have to try the other types of Malawi
teas though...Upton only has the one Malawi from what I know. The comment
from you above about Malawi teas being China type surprises me as I thought
(from their taste) that they'd be more Indian Ceylon type (or at least the
one I get from Upton would be...maybe it is).
