Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearl

I got this on the way to work this afternoon, I have been feeling a little bit down so I thought the jasmine might help. This jasmine tea does not seem to be near the quality of Mandala’s or Teavivre’s. Perhaps the way they prepared it had something to do with it. Certain jasmine teas seem to be very drying and bitter and this is one of them… not destined to be a favorite, oh well.

Let’s face it… I’m a sucker for Jasmine (and I don’t mean the Disney Princess)! This tea while easily over steeped is one of my staples for when I’m out and about and looking for a good loose leaf to grab. With the fantastic aromas of the jasmine flower this green tea nails it when it comes to subtly. This tea is simple. Leave it that way!

Might be a nice tea in itself, but the iced brew at my local Coffee Bean was watery and gross.

This is really nice tea to start the day with. It has a lovely aroma (you can smell the jasmine from the moment you open the box!) but a light, gentle taste. It’s a very simple tea, which is just what I want first thing in the morning.

Double steeped and it was still good
