Jasmine Green Tea

My dad drinks this tea and while I’m here I thought I would try a cup to go with my spicy rice lunch.

I honestly don’t think its too bad. A little astringent and not as strongly jasmine as I’m used to but its still acceptable. Not as fresh as I’m used to either and the green tea in the bags was finely chopped and seemed a little dusty but again its serving its purpose for this moment in time and I cannot complain.

I would drink this again quite happily :)

Bagged

Tea liquor:
At end of steep: mossy green
Staple? Type yes, will not use this brand again

Taste:
At first: high astringency, closes with floral notes
As it cools? looses some astringency, floral notes flatten, tea gets very harsh grassy

Additives used (milk, honey, sugar etc)? No
Lingers? Yes, with drying astringency

Bagged version. Easy to throw in a cup, and fine for grabbing quickly, it tastes decent enough. Not the best, and not the worst I’ve had.

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 :)

I only have one more of these left nooo! This is my favorite bagged jasmine green, I feel like the jasmine smell and flavor don’t overpower the green. IT’S A REALLY GOOD LATE NIGHT TEA for some reason.

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.
