Green Tea by Stash Tea Company
From Yamamotoyama tea gardens. Jasmine is picked in the heat of the day when the tiny flowers are closed tight. The blossoms open in the cool of the evening when they are blended with the green tea leaves. A refreshing beverage.
A very pleasing tea. I actually had to brew it twice, as the first time the water was too hot, causing the tea to be very bitter. The second brew was great, and exceeded my expectations by a fair margin. used 180 degree water, and steeped it for 4 minutes.
I have to say, as this is my first foray into loose-leaf teas, everything actually turned out okay.
Evidently I have not, alas, yet learned to have the water cool enough and the steep short enough for green tea, so it remains my least favorite type. Disregarding the scowling tea gods, i added sugar. Jasmine scent was the best part of this cup, and recalling my recent cholesterol test, which was excellent! :)
