12 Tasting Notes
My favorite Jasmine Green tea thus far, very natural and complex, with the right amount of sweetness. I enjoy this tea with a bit of honey, it extends the natural sweetness into a nice afterglow. The jasmine aroma is subtle and earthy, and not “perfumy” or unpleasant like in other jasmine teas that I’ve tried, and the green tea is present and flavorful- a bit smoky even. I try not to steep this particular tea for more than three minutes, but I’ve actually enjoyed a cup without too much astringence even after leaving the bag in for the time it took me to shower in the morning.
This tea has a strong, complex and spicy aroma- unique and surprising. I may have over-brewed my first cup a bit, but still enjoyed it, although didn’t think it was OVERTLY special. I controlled my next brew a bit better, and with a touch of cream and agave, the tea was absolutely fantastic. Incredibly flavorful and relaxing, this has quickly become my favorite black tea of the moment.
