I have received almost three rounded teaspoons, so I have used only two today and steeped for 5 minutes. It is recommended to use 8 oz, but I went as usual for 300 ml which is roughly 10 oz.
Turned out delicious after 5 minutes steep. Yes, it was so uncommon, seeing copper colour and having jasmine tea. But oh my… it’s so YUMMY!
I can’t really describe it, not even the base tea. It’s soo unique. Together it makes so smooth and thick brew. Little bitterness and astringency (but 5 minutes steep, huh) but the jasmine taste was so great. Mild, round, mouth-coating. I started to dislike scented/flavoured blacks, as I am having lots of actual orthodox teas. Sometimes they tend to be bit over-powered with flavours. NOT THIS ONE! I remember smelling Jasmine Green tea from Impra. It was tea bag, and I thought I never would like jasmine in teas. How wrong have I been?
This deserves such a high rating. The ratio of base and jasmine is just great. There is no foul note. Mouthfeel is just amazing.
I need more! Thank you derk for sample. Such a small one, but now, I can tell, I had jasmine black. I want to share with my friend, but we can’t right now. Hopefully soon!
Managed to write two pages of my thesis to the time I am writing this tasting note, I am going to write at least one more! Yay, and damn you procrastination!

Two pages is awesome progress! What is your thesis on?
“An analysis of material handling equipment in selected company” which is DB Schenker branch in my University city; and it’s just part of it — ESAB (welding equipment) distribution centre for Central (if not whole, not sure now) Europe. I am not really sure, but area is 12,000 sq metres. I need to ask for correct data, or go there (but don’t really want as situation here isn’t great)
I’ve never had Jasmine black tea before – it sounds so good! Adding it to my wishlist!
Madeline: Me neither, seems it is very rare stuff. And especially from Brenden, haha!
Definitely not my area of expertise, but interesting nonetheless!
Yay for not procrastinating-and such a dry sounding subject, too… Alice is one of WPT’s best-I think. : )
This is one of my all-time favorite teas! So good!
I had a sample of this from derk not long ago as well, and also loved it. I got this strong grape note from the jasmine! I don’t like jasmine green teas either (unless they are blended with other things to seriously tone down the floral so I don’t feel like I’m inhaling perfume, which gives me migraines), but loved it on a black base (and I didn’t have that aroma issue causing me headache, either).
You’re welcome, Martin <3
A GOOD jasmine tea can convert almost anyone to jasmine tea. :D
Courtney: Actually it’s something I am interested in. Though it is bit dry sounding as White Antlers said. I like the machinery more than people in warehouses! I have to calculate the number of forklifts needed and read from telemetry and… it’s quite demanding, but I quite like it.
amandastory516 I can compleltely undestand why. It’s delicious!
Mastress Alita: A grape note? Interesting and I will try find that. But I liked this much more than green tea blends as well. Not a migraine trigger to me, but I can imagine it can be awful for some.
derk: It’s such an amazing tea.
tea-sipper: Haha, it seems so. I just wish there will be some more available black jasmine teas than this. It would be hard to recreate such a great tea as WPT, but at least something similar!
