Green Jasmine

Green Tea by Yogi Tea

The fragrant jasmine flower has been a well loved complement to green tea since the fifth century. To achieve this delicate blend, freshly picked jasmine flowers are placed into large barrels of organic green tea leaves where the fragrance and flavour of their blossoms are absorbed. Our unique recipe combines the benefits of green tea and the fragrance of Jasmine with the warming and stimulating qualities of ginger. Enjoy a cup of Green Jasmine as a gentle pick-me-up in the morning or any time of the day and let yourself be transported to the ancient land of China and beyond.

5 Tasting Notes

OK, so this is my second log and my third try of drinking this tea. Its the first time i steeped it for 2-3 minutes as it says on the box. Well first time i didn’t forget about the tea bag ;)
Smell – at first even the teabag itself smelled bit nasty to me. Now the smell suits me way better. I guess I’m associating it with the taste. It ain’t about the smell tho.
Color – its nice – like deep yellow (yellow with a pinch of orange) and clear.
Taste – mmm way milder than the first 2 tries. Makes sense… Its way better too. I mean i liked it before too, more with every try but this shorter steep makes me feel the aromas way better. I put just a bit of sugar in it so its soothingly sweet at first. Somehow calming. Then the herb aroma fills my mouth and nose. Beautifull. Then i get the pinch of peppery feeling somewhere in the back of my mouth, mostly on the mouth wall and slightly on my tongue. Im guessing thats from ginger. The aromas stick with me for a while.
Actually when i think of it I’m really loving this tea – its very relaxing with a pinch of something more to it. And very herbal – very tea like ;) Good rating again. I’ll come back to it when i know more about other teas and try different brands. So far it makes me wanna continue drinking tea.

lordy, lordy, how it tastes weird this time. i got no idea what i did. i mean its a teabag – should taste same each time. maybe me eating peanutbutter filled sticks might change my perception so much… im so puzzled – its like the put one bag of different tea in the wrong paper wrapping. or maybe the new heater is releasing a bit of that ‘new device taste’ (even tho its washed and boiled). wont rate, wonder if the next one tastes like this one again. hope not…

i discovered yesterday that i can make at least 2 infusions with the teabag :) for some reason second infusion seems always way more peppery. its still quite tasty tho, just less of those aromas and more of that ginger thing…

ok i just did an experiment. i steeped the green tea for the second time. in it i added just like half a teaspoon of the white xmas mix – the delicate tasting ones with strong smell. all that in about 3-4dl of water. i also forgot about it so it has steeped for like 10 minutes if not more. however im about to try it.

smells nice. color is pretty much like the green tea itself. putting little bit of sugar in it because thats how i like the green jasmine tea. should taste mostly like that one even tho it smells like cinnamon and cloves. just tasted it. well definitely like it slightly more than the white tea. and the white tea made the peppery taste of the second steep of the green one weaker. not a bad combo really. i dont know its not so bad but it cant beat the first steep of the green jasmine. i just love that one…
i actually think now that i dont particularly like the taste of cloves in tea. its bit weird.

not giving a rating to this one. after all its just an experiment…

i really need a good not sweet tea after trying that sweet chrysanthemum pu-ehr. didn’t make this one in a while. it should work.
mmm yep. herbal bliss. needed it…
