Day 12 of the Inoki Bathhouse advent calendar. This was pretty but I found the flavor a bit meh. Sort of a generic “Chinese green tea” flavor with maybe a hint of floral if I really look for it. I really liked the flowering rose, but this one just didn’t have that same vegetal-floral balance.

I feel like flowering teas are meant purely for aesthetics, they always taste so bland and similar to each other.
I got some jasmine flowering green when I was in Taiwan and, while it wasn’t the absolute best I’ve ever had, it was a solid jasmine that held up well to grandpa-style brewing. I haven’t had that experience stateside, though. Maybe it’s also a freshness thing?
I had some flowering teas from Teavivre that were pretty decent!
