Oolonga

Oolonga drank Jasmine Silver Needle by Adagio Teas

Dumping the rating further…

There must be something wrong with me because everyone else here seems to adore this tea but the old perfumed lady keeps coming back as I gradually go through my sample. I have 5 jasmine tea samples on hand right now and this one is the worst. It’s the most artificially and perfumy scented and I’m really getting hard time trying to even like it. The more I drink it the more I detest it.

That’s the best part of being human, no one sees (or tastes) the world quite the same way!

I’m having a similar experience. This is the highest rated white tea of Adagio’s sampler, so I had high expectations of love. But it’s not very good. I’ve only tried 3 different jasmine teas, and this is the worst by far. Sad. :(

Bio

I’ve been drinking loose leaf tea all my life. I always take tea plain without adding any sweetener or milk to it. Would love to swap for tea, feel free to contact me about it.
