Ah, so today has been declared as a lazy day! I still have eight more of these before it is back to school! This one is sure to be a crazy one because I’m taking two upper division courses. They are also the first ones I’ve taken. I’m also starting my study into oolong and these Chinese names everywhere are making my head spin a bit. Japanese I can handle since I’ve taken courses, but this is an entirely different beast. lol
This will be my last cup from this sample! I’m trying to clean out my tea collection. I have really enjoyed smelling this tea. It has an interesting and bold smell. I noted before that it says jasmine, but I’m still searching for it (a plus for me!). It has floral, sweet, tangy and citrus notes that all stand out.
I’ve noticed that the green tea base for this is not too finicky; which is something to be thankful for! I find that I have a hard time judging temperature sometimes and this may have been a bit over the recommended temperature.
The flavor of this is very enjoyable. All of the interesting parts of the smell have translated quite well to the liquor. I thing this would be yet another of my recommendations for tea beginners. Mostly because it is easy to brew and quite satisfying. I think this would also be a great tea for people trying to avoid sweets.
