Fujian Mountain Jasmine Dragon Pearl from Dragon Pearl Whole Teas

Spencer drank Fujian Mountain Jasmine Dragon Pearl by Dragon Pearl Whole Teas

So I made a pot of this yesterday and then let it chill, with the intention of using it to make rice for dinner. I was interested to see what it would taste like to make rice using tea, especially a jasmine green tea. Well, the making did not happen until this morning, but it did happen! And with that rice, I drank the chilled leftover tea.
It has a distinct jasmine flavor, accompanied by a toasted taste that comes from green tea being heated too much.

Bio

“I love trading tea and trying new teas. My favourites are oolong (mainly Chinese) and pu’erh.
Will gladly talk all day about tea.”

The above was my bio when I joined three years ago, and I felt it needed to be updated. I still love pu’erh, though I have begun to take preference toward cooked, shou. Oolongs are certainly still a go-to tea for me, but I have expanded my horizons to begin including greens and blacks based upon the weather and how I am feeling.

Still more than glad to talk about tea – anytime, anywhere, anyplace.
Additionally, if fountain pens, books, music, or computers are on the discussion list…
