Popular Tasting Notes

Dry leaves smell of pipe tobacco and prunes, very pleasant. Wet leaves smell very vegetal with a hint of the dry leaf aroma. Rinsed for 15s, then 10 minute rest.

Steep/Time: Notes
1-3/10s: Bitter and vegetal for all three. It’s not the case for all teas, but I think 6g of leaf maybe too much for this little pot. I’ve removed about half of the leaves as I think 3-4g would be better.

4/10s: Waaahhh! That makes a world of difference! The tea is now sweetly astringent. Still has the vegetal quality about it, but it’s quite good.

5/10s: Surprisingly buttery smooth and sweet.

Got off to a rough start with this one, so no cha qi. I’ll give it a shot again tomorrow.

Tried this tea at noon. Let cool, then topped with a scoop of vanilla chocochip ice cream. Unstoppable!

I absolutely love this tea. Definitely one that is more of a neutral as far as flavor and one that I would keep on hand all the time.

I use this to make iced tea in the summer.

Sweet and oddly tangy. I drank the whole cup to be polite because it came with lunch, but I was not a fan.

I thought this tea was alright cold brewed, and brewed hot I think the same. I’ve had better jasmine teas, this one was a little too vegetal for me, personally I prefer the illusion of drinking a flower.

Strong, sweet flavour that really reminds of blueberry muffins, seems pretty natural.
Slightly sweet in taste, with a lot of fruity and some biscuity notes, subtle earthy aromas from base tea in the background.

All in all it’s pretty good, but nothing extraordinary.

Unsure just yet. Rather weak.

Drinking this quickly while it’s hot is the way to go. I do love this tea but I wish it didn’t taste so watered down.. I will need to mess around with how much to measure out. Anyway I’m watching the Goodbye Matt Smith special and I don’t have any of 11 so the Ponds will make do.

This tea is SWEET. The flavor is mostly chocolate with a berry twist and tiny bit of floral tossed in. It’s a great dessert tea but the intense sweetness keeps it from being stocked regularly for me. Helps me kill my chocolate cravings so I keep coming back to it.

This stuff smelled great, when it was brewed it didn’t live up to the smell. All in all it ended up tasting a like a decent orange pekoe but you could smell some blood orange before you drank it.

DELICIOUS (with some honey to give it some body). I’m not usually a fan of the lighter teas, but this is an awesome little gem. It’s sweet without being overly so and really does taste like a good peach. Also, the bloom is gorgeous

Had to have more! Great for this cold sunny Monday. Oishii.
