Steeped to three minutes and drank without milk. I enjoyed this tea as a refreshing thirst quencher. That said, if you are looking for subtly, forget it. This is a bold tasting tea with an almost overpowering Jasmin taste. If I didn’t know this to be an unadulterated tea, I’d suspect it to have added flavours. What I did like about it was it’s scent and the way from very first sip, it took me back in time to the flowery days of the ’60’s when I drank tea like this from trendy little cups to the sound of Sitar music. Ahh happy days…
Loose Jasmine
Green Tea by Whittard of Chelsea
“The most popular of the scented China teas, frequently served in Chinese restaurants. The near-green grey coloured leaf is lightly fermented then flavoured with whole jasmine flowers. Brew very lightly without milk.”
