Jasmine Green from Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea

chrine drank Jasmine Green by Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea

I ordered my Series 3 when it was on Select on Tuesday, it shipped on Wednesday, and it arrived this afternoon! Totally wasn’t expecting it. A&D, you guys are AWESOME!

I was very excited to open the box and sniff the teas. Jasmine Green smelled like orchids to me but I’ll confess I know nothing about flowers and have no idea what jasmine should smell like. Possibly this. Earl Grey smelled citrus and sour, possibly soapy. I kept sniffing him trying to put my finger on what he smelled like. Not quite what I thought an Earl Grey should smell like. Caravan was easy, he smelled like smoked ham.

I’m most excited to try the Jasmine Green cause I recently had a jasmine tea for the first time from Life in Teacup, a surprise sample, and I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did. I’m interested to see if I really like jasmine teas or if the Life in Teacup tea is just that good.

I think I’ll be steeping myself up a cup while I watch the finale of Ugly Betty off the DVR.

I got my order from A&D today too… but I haven’t opened the cans yet. I might need to smell caravan and see if he does, in fact, smell like smoked ham. When put that way, he actually sounds kind of tasty.

A&D DFT Jasmine Green is a favorite! My tea tin smells divine as does the 1st infusion tea.

Bio

I’m a 28 year old pharmacist. I live with my husband and our two cats, Bin and Sakai. I love tea, coffee, reading, and learning.

I’ve drank tea all my life but recently my close friend Spautz became an educated tea drinker and started educating me. Since then I’ve tried white teas and oolong and learned that I love rooibos.
