I used to love jasmine tea. I still do, but in my exploration of so many new teas jasmine kind of fell by the way side. A friend recently got me some jasmine pearls and that has me digging for other jasmine in my cupboard. That’s when this one turned up. It’s really nice. Very smooth with a light sweetness. It has that crisp distinct jasmine flavor without being bitter or harsh. It’s very lovely!

Jasmine teas were my favorite for a very long time. Before I really had any idea about the world of tea, I knew I loved the flavor and aroma of jasmine. Perhaps I got sick of the flavor, because up until last week, I just didn’t enjoy jasmine like I used to. Now, I’m on a jasmine kick again. I started making iced jasmine green tea bobas at home, and they have been really hitting the spot. I’ve started enjoying jasmine quite a bit again.
This is incredibly fragrant and flavorful. The honey and cooked fruit aroma combined with the jasmine is intoxicating. There is a bit of an acid finish that makes this short of perfect. Still enjoyable though!

has a perfume taste and smell but then savory for second steeping

Smells like perfume, flowers and jasmine. Less honeysuckle scent, more honeysucle flavor. A little bitter and savory. After taste is not the best. Delicate flavor

smell like more sweet. perfume like. smell really good, honeysuckle.

Sipdown 100/395!! Triple digits y’all!!

I finished this off dumping the rest of the leaf from my sample into my ingenuiTEA, and I only gravitated towards this tea as a sort of stomach settler, as my boyfriend had been up through the night ill and I wasn’t feeling so great myself when I got home from work. I drank it in bed catching up on Strictly and was super surprised by how delicious it was. I expected to like it, since I am a fan of jasmine teas, but I was not prepared for how natural and delicate the jasmine flavour was, or how juicy and almost fruity the white tea was. It’s super flavourful, and I managed three steeps Western style without the flavour profile changing too much. I think it would last even longer if I’d treated it better, too. Definitely going on my repurchase list for when I’m finally done this no-buy. But, still, 100 down, I guess?

This is kind of odd, and not what I expected. I normally don’t get a tea with these kind of notes, but it was a free sample.

Jasmine, obviously, hits you in the face as you sip it. It’s a little too strong for me. But then there’s a bit of honeysuckle and melon.

Probably a really good tea for someone who enjoys these flavors, but not for me.

I usually dislike jasmine teas, as the jasmine flavor always over-powers any other flavor. This tea, on the other hand, has just a hint of jasmine. It is incredibly smooth, which is a quality I really enjoy in white teas. The liquor of the first steep is quite pretty – almost a rose gold color. The first and second steeps taste very similar, then the third and fourth bring out more jasmine flavor and a lighter liquor.

I got this tea as part of Verdant’s 5 teas for $5 an embarrassingly long time ago, and I’m just now drinking it. Wishing it were still available, but if I know Verdant, there’s another one I’ll love just as much or more.

My new favorite tea, I always had a soft spot for white tea, especially bai mu dan. This is now my new favorite white. After doing a very short steep about 30 seconds in a 110 ml gaiwan. I got an almost clear liquor, but the aroma coming from it was absolutely divine. And as soon as I sipped it, I got this intense, floral, jasmine sweetness, without even a hint of any astringency, it was so smooth and easy to drink.

Im… stunned.. this is my new favorite tea.. its mellow, but at the same time its got intense flavor and aroma but its never overpowering. Im getting more and more impressed with Verdant tea as I have not been disappointed with anything ive gotten from them including the samples.

In subsequent resteeps it keeps it’s aroma and flavor very impressively. I still get the intensity even after third and fourth steep. I know silver needle always holds up well, but still im again pleasantly surprised, if you ever order from them, do yourself a favor and get a sample of this, as the price is incredibly reasonable too.
