Dinosara drank Dragon Pearl Jasmine by Harney & Sons

Sipdown, 227. Ah, it’s always sad when sipping down a beloved tea. I have had this for forever, though (seriously, this tea is 2 years old), and it of course has diminished from its former glory. Nevertheless, it is still a delicious, sweet, rich jasmine that is really quite amazing. More amazing that it has this much flavor 2 years on. Well I have other pearls for now, not to mention about a hundred other types of jasmine, so it will be quite a while before I would potentially restock this one.

Love me some jasmine pearls

Profile

Bio

I am tea obsessed, with the stash to match. I tend to really enjoy green oolongs, Chinese blacks, and flavored teas with high quality bases, especially florals, bergamot-based teas, and chocolate teas.

I’m a grad student and in my free time I am a birder, baker, and music/movie/tv addict.

I have an Adagio Teas UtiliTEA kettle and a Tea Forté Kati cup for brewing. I also have a Chinese Ru Kiln tea set for gongfu brewing.

Here are my rating categories, FYI:
100-90: These teas are mind-blowingly good to me.
89-80: I really really like these teas and will keep most of them in the permanent collection, but they’re not quite as spectacular as the top category
79-70: Tasty teas that I enjoy, but definitely won’t rebuy when I run out.
69-65: Teas that I would probably drink again, but wouldn’t seek out. They don’t quite do it for me in one aspect or another; often just not quite my style
64-60: Teas that I don’t really enjoy all that much and wouldn’t drink another cup of.
59-50: Bleh. I usually choose not to finish the cup because life’s too short to drink tea I dislike.
49 and below: Mega yuck. This tea is just disgusting to me.
