Organic Dragon Phoenix Pearl Jasmine Tea from Simpson & Vail

Amy oh drank Organic Dragon Phoenix Pearl Jasmine Tea by Simpson & Vail

This is a lovely jasmine tea, I don’t usually go for jasmine but somehow I was in the mood for this tonight and I wanted to have a relaxing evening.

This is a really lovely cuppa – slightly fruity, smooth and even a bit sweet. The jasmine smells great and is not too soapy or perfumey. I steeped this in the gaiwan for 30 seconds and had 3 steeps of it like this.

So tonight I think I am staying at home to read Jane Eyre and I might have a few more cups of this. I know that’s kind of boring but I have a long day tomorrow with an all day ink painting workshop, tea and then meditation! wheee!

Bio

My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.

Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it

59-50 Ick

49 and below Nasty
