Jasmine White Tea Classic from Shang Tea

Invader Zim drank Jasmine White Tea Classic by Shang Tea

White tea Shang sample of the mid afternoon. Yes, I realize I’m drinking a lot of tea today and I have become close friends with the restroom because of it. My first jasmine white tea of Shang. This is a nice soft jasmine taste that isn’t overly perfumey. I’m getting a spearmint-like sensation at the tail end of the sip. The aftertaste has a slight drying effect with a hint of sweet hay note. This isn’t my favorite white jasmine tea, but it’s not bad by any means either, just doesn’t really stand out in my opinion.

Edit:
Just a quick side note that I just realized…this is my 100 tasting note!

I’m right behind you!

Congrats on 100 tasting notes. I do really like Shang Tea, they have some of the best white teas I’ve encountered.

So that’s who you got your new package from: Shang Tea. I’m glad you’re enjoying the teas. I vaguely remember reading some good things about them, as a company at least (Although I don’t remember seeing a company review written about them in under the ‘online’ Places).

Sad to hear your husband doesn’t seem to share in your enthusiasm about tea. :(

Congratulations on the 100th tasting note!

Thank you everyone!

SimpliciTEA, the new package I got today is from Verdant, I got Shang’s tea package yesterday!

The husband doesn’t share tea enthusiasm at all. I have him try some and he’ll just stares at me and shrug his shoulders after swishing it in his mouth.

Happy 100!!!!

Yay happy 100 indeed!

@Invader Zim: be glad that he takes a sip at all. My husband rarely even does that. One time, he emphasized his point that HE DOES NOT LIKE TEA by taking a sip and promptly going to the bathroom to vomit.

Ah well, I’m ok with that, because, all this tea in this house… all of it, it’s MINE! He can’t have it. My precious. MINE!

Happy 100, IZ!

Silly men! : }

LIBERTEAS crackin up! Reminds me of the uglies! My ex -husband was so mean that he wouldn’t have ALLOWED me to even HAVE tea in the house girl! If it wasn’t about him …it wasn’t!

Invader Zim 2012-06-10 13:55:11 -0400

LiberTEAS: your husband seems to take it a little too far, but yes more us! and I love you precious analogy!

SimpliciTEA…you are a man aren’t you?!

Bonnie: I apologize if i offend you, but it sounds like there’s god reason he’s an ex.

Invader Zim You bet I am, and I have no problem with poking fun at my own sex. : )
