Got my medical issue sorted out and I’m feeling a lot better… Although the fire alarm testing in my work building this morning wasn’t helpful.
Green tea is so soothing and revitalizing. I really wish I had better means to make it loose at work, but alas, this bagged one will do. Twinings is a good company, at least.
I taste flowers and perfume. Broth-y mouthfeel.
Accidental sipdown… I grabbed my final teabag, thinking it was an Earl Grey (I had them both in identical sealed pouches) and realised my mistake after I poured the boiling water over and it turned green. In my defence, it smelled citrusy! It’s a weird mixture of astringent and sour, and I don’t really taste the jasmine at all. Totally my own fault, though. I’ve been trying to sip at it for a few minutes now but each time I do it puckers my mouth up in a really not pleasant way. Think I’m gonna have to dump it…
Edit: I asked my mam to try it, expecting her reaction to the weird sour astringency to be the same as mine, but she… liked it… So the mug didn’t get dumped after all, it’s been rehomed instead. I can’t believe out of all the teas I’ve made her try, this is the one she likes?!

Oh man, my mom loves this one too, especially with boiling water. It always makes me wrinkle my nose when she says that she would rather have a bag of this than the nice loose leaf jasmine sitting beside it in the tea cabinet.
I’ve accidentally dumped boiling water on green tea as well. Glad your mom liked it!
@Leafhopper – glad I’m not alone!
@Eelong – What is it with mothers and this tea? And boiling this tea?! Lol. I’ve been trying to get mine into loose leaf for a while, and while she does drink some of the ones I put in front of her, this is the most enthusiastic she’s been in a while. I just, I give up.
I’m mostly unmoved by this tea. For bagged tea, it’s perfectly pleasant. However, I don’t get much jasmine; it just tastes like a vaguely floral green. This is preferable to an overdone, bitter, perfumey jasmine, though, I guess. Also, this tea feels very dry on my mouth, but I don’t get bitter astringency from this tea. Overall, adequate.
Flavors: Floral
First cup I had of this was bearable- after having a second I think this is primarily because I drank it straight. It is best when still hot. It is a bit more astringent than I prefer and also has a very grassy taste as it cools. In order to make my second cup more drinkable, I added some muddled lime, even this failed to help the flavor.
Not a bad jasmine green, but not my favorite. The jasmine in this just doesn’t pop enough for me, I like mine a lot stronger. That being said, I still tend to keep this on hand for guests who prefer green tea over black because even if you over steep it it doesn’t get as bitter as others I’ve had.
