Since I just placed an order for this tea, I figured I’d finish up the sampling that Doulton sent to me. (Thanks again!)
This is truly a delightful jasmine. It is important to get the brewing parameters correct (or as correct as you might get if you’re an “eyeballer” like me) because too hot a temperature can be detrimental to this tea.
But when brewed at a lower temperature, the taste is divine! A very strong jasmine flavor which is remarkable in itself, since I typically find non-pearl jasmine teas to be a bit soft in the jasmine flavor… perhaps soft isn’t the right word. But, it’s just OFF compared to that of the pearl – as pearl is the standard toward which all jasmines should strive.
I’m bumping this score a notch, just because I can and I feel like it.

Pearl Jasmine is the gold standard? I need to try a pearl jasmine!
Well, that is just my opinion of course… but, I love pearls.
The second infusion of these leaves is just as amazing as the first. I really love this tea.
Good for you – i think I lost that special scent/aroma on the 2nd infusion. Tasted good but it didn’t smell as good. But that first infusion – I had never smelled Jasmine Green tea so heavenly as this one!
