This is the only large tin of tea I have from Adagio. Everything else I have is sample size. I ordered it when I was just starting out with this baby thing and looking for a way to maintain my tea habit without caffeine.
This one was a winner for me because it was so similar to green jasmine. The jasmine really stands out! So I steep it a lot like a green tea… lower water temperature, less time, and it really is quite jasminesque. I love it!
Just made a big pot of this, sweetened with agave nectar. A perfect way to spend this rainy Saturday.
Tried to replicate the sitar experience from earlier this morning… just clicking noises for a few seconds. Next up: vanilla again to see if I can replicate. The water was probably a slightly different temperature (hotter) this time, so that might be a factor, too.
wanted some green jasmine, but didn’t have any. instead had a light steep of this. yum!
I’ve been experimenting with steeping times for this tea. A 2-3 minute steep is more like a green jasmine tea than a rooibos. A 5-10 minute steep is more of a rooibos with a hint of jasmine. Both good, but different.
I’m not a huge fan of rooibos tea, but I do love a good green jasmine. This tea is a lot more like green jasmine than red, and I’m a big fan of that!
