Dinosara drank Jasmine Golden Yunnan by thepuriTea

I used the rest of my sample of this for my lunch-time cold brew. It made a really nice cup of iced tea; very jasminey but not overwhelming. As much as I missed the golden buds flavors in the hot tea, I really didn’t get any here… it was hard to tell I was even drinking a jasmine black as opposed to a green, even. Somewhat surprising! Still, it was a tasty cup of tea.

Hmm.. a yunnan-black based jasmine sounds like an interesting idea! Too bad this one didn’t sound like it used the base. I’ll have to keep my eyes open for something like this.

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.
