Jasmine Green Tea

One of the very few green teas I like. It tastes like stereotypical Chinese restaurant Jasmine tea, but with good quality tea and a nice floral note to it without being too strong or bitter. It doesn’t taste “Healthy” and bitter and just… icky like most green teas do these days, but honestly good. Natural sweetness occurs in it, bitter only if rebrewed. I was pleasantly surprised after going to HomeGoods and getting it for around $3. Leaves are nice and fresh, nice full leaves as well. Not quite tips, but really good.

While I am no Green Tea expert, I can honestly say I love this tea. Its nice and smooth and the only time I found it bitter was when I severely over brewed it (near boiling water, meant to steep for 2 min. forgot and left it sit for nearly 10!) I have been able to get 4 good infusions on a portion of this tea before the flavor degrades. Also its one of the few Jasmine Greens I’ve tried (out maybe 10ish different brands) that actually has Jasmine buds IN the tea. Very nice!
