Sipdown
April Sipdown Prompt – a tea that is a special shape
I see I had an April sipdown of this once before. After a very busy morning, I am lounging in the hammock with Hugo the Lionheart having tea, strawberries, and crumbles of chocolate scraped out of the pot where I made my son’s birthday cake with boiled chocolate frosting.
This is a year and a half past date and very muted. I will definitely buy this again because the base is far smoother than other Jasmine green teas I have tried and the Jasmine is sweet and natural, hitting the perfect level for me. When fresh, it resteeps well. This has grown a bit too weak for a really good second steep. It is a definite re-order and probably fairly soon, as I have no green jasmine on shelf and only one black tea with jasmine, I think Yunnan Golden Jasmine.
Teavivre’s jasmine teas are top notch to me and I prefer them even to Grace Rare Tea’s “Flowery Jasmine Before the Rain” and Harney’s Jasmine Dragon Pearls. And of all of Teavivre’s jasmine teas, this is my favorite. (So far.)
