light and refreshing – but not as flavorful as other jasmine teas I’ve had, or other jasmine pearls for that matter

getting ready to do some work.. perfect wake up and go tea

still one of my favorites – sweet and simple!

2nd steep, still awesome, not bitter, picking up more of a spiced aspect.

At this point, I’m feeling a slight caffeine boost from steep #1, but not as much as I have when previously drinking Jasmine #12. A good thing. And thus, I will assume that over-steeping = over-caffeinating.

One of my classic all time favorites – very smooth and mellow, delicate and fresh.

I usually get a pretty serious caffeine buzz from this tea, too – so I’ll update you on whether or not that’s the case today in my followup 2nd steep post

A nice morning tea, but a bit overly fruity for me – I much prefer the apricot black from Adagio. Has a lovely sweet scent, though.

like the flavors, but it’s definitely lacking something. want to try some other brand before I can say if I like this flavor…

finishing up my sample, will definitely have to restock – this one is a staple of mine. still pretty good, even though the remains of the sample are all crumbly. very smooth and peaceful – a nice calming tea.
