Nothing as a nice jasmine tea for the evening, of course is not the best one neither the most expensive, but is just the right tea to drink in evening as right now. Its one of thoose “daily teas” all tea lover need and should have in their cupboard. :) happy day to all :D

This was a gift from Janefan.

Not too bad, I also wasn’t expecting much from a bagged tea. For a go to bagged tea at work this is a good green tea. I don’t think I’d buy this – but I am glad to have a stash of it for now. Next time I think I may sweeten it and steep 2 minutes instead of 3.

Post-Steep Additives: none

more potent jasmine aroma. could go for stronger but this one is better than bigelow. pretty good and not expensive either :)

Ehh, this tea has a sweet grassy taste to it with a little jasmine hint somewhere in the background. I’m not impressed with this tea, but it may just because I have been accustomed to drinking jasmine pearls as my jasmine green tea staple for the past year or so.

I have a box of this at work that I bought before I started drinking loose tea, I’d forgotten all about it until today. It’s not a bad tea & hits the the spot nicely. Though my taste buds have definitely got used to finer tea!

I love the fragrance of this, but not so much the grassy aftertaste, which gets worse the longer I steep. Overall not a bad tea for when I want something slightly caffeinated in the afternoon at work. I might try it with some honey, I think it’d be good.

Light, fragrant, hard to decide whether to enjoy the aroma or the taste…ok, both. Every sip reminds me of my favorite Vietnamese establishment and the frequent pairing with bun. I am getting hungry as a matter of fact!

I tried a jasmine green tea at a sushi shop a while back and really enjoyed it, so I decided to get some of this at the grocery store. It’s savory and mellow and everything I like, and it even resteeps well! (talking about the bagged version) A very good stress relief, as this week has been rough.

This makes a decent cup of tea. I like the crisp ending it provides. No cream/milk, no sugar. I don’t know if I’ll repurchase seeing that there are other teas I like more, but it’s fine.

Yummi!

Surprisingly good bagged green tea. This was a standby I carried around in my bag for a few months one winter.

An old favourite. Good fall back tea when you have no loose left.

Not a bad jasmine green, but not my favorite. The jasmine in this just doesn’t pop enough for me, I like mine a lot stronger. That being said, I still tend to keep this on hand for guests who prefer green tea over black because even if you over steep it it doesn’t get as bitter as others I’ve had.

My favorite bagged jasmine tea! Great taste, great price and great smell too; a good staple jasmine tea, quite light and tasty, though I do often steep it pretty strong. I tend to really enjoy it at night! u//w//u

This wasn’t bad but it wasn’t overly good. I’m not in love with Jasmine, but I got this as a gift and I think I like it more than most Jasmine Greens. It was pretty mild even as it steeped longer.

I drank the looseleaf. This tes is very good, not too flowery. The second brew was just as awesome!

Not the best Jasmine tea I’ve had. Not very floral, a little hint of spice, but still passable for tea.

This is great tea! You can’t really taste the jasmine but I can. I like green tea and this one really cheers my day!
