MissLena12 drank Yunnan White Jasmine by Verdant Tea

This delicious tea is relaxing and perfect on this snowy post-Halloween-night day. Had a great evening in my costume with good friends!
The delicate leaves and sugary aftertaste are enveloping me in calm. Jasmine is just right as usual. Perfection in a cup. I don’t want to do anything but watch the snow fall and drink this lovely tea!

Also, thoughts and prayers to all on the east coast! Please be safe with the approach of sandy!

ETA: 2nd steep is also wonderful! I’m getting less jasmine, and more of a juicy, fruity taste! I can taste the apricot notes others have found. So good!

I went to add this to my shopping list based on your tasting note and discovered that it’s already in my cupboard. I need to start ordering less tea and drinking more of it. :D

Haha well at least you have some already and don’t have to wait! :)

Profile

Bio

Hello all, I’m a university student finishing up my Electrical Engg degree this year (read:NERD :D), who is a bit obsessed with tea! I discovered loose tea in 2011, DAVIDsTEA in 2012 and it took off from there. I really started drinking/enjoying tea because it’s excellent to take to class in the morning and because I can’t handle coffee!

I enjoy a variety of herbal, white, green, oolong and black teas. I am a bit sensitive to caffeine, but I find that in moderation I can still indulge in black teas and matcha. I’ve also dabbled with matcha and pu’erhs.

Oh, and I have a severe peanut allergy and try to avoid all other nuts, just to be safe. Limits my tea choices a wee bit, but oh well.

MissLena’s rating system
(as of 04/19/13)

95+: Absolute favorite, will try to always have it in stock, and when I don’t I pine over it!
90-94: Awesome teas, will probably purchase again a few times
80-89: Very good tea, may restock at some point
70-79: happy to have tried and will gladly finish, but not restock
60-69: not horrible, but not the best, will finish if I have some though
50-59: not a favorite, probably will have a tough time finishing the bag
-50: yuck. I don’t want to have it ever again.

I am happy to say that my caffeine intolerance seems to be subsiding! This is allowing me to try a wider variety of teas :)
