Cold brewed 2 tsp in 300 mL water for 10 minutes. The green base wouldn’t be my first choice-I would have gone with a white or unroasted oolong. It isn’t overly offputting, I just don’t find the flavour very appealing. It tastes of a typical green tea-slightly vegetal, maybe slightly sweet, grassy, pretty typical sencha flavour.
I’m not getting very much jasmine, but I do like the blackberry/fruit flavours. I can taste blackberry distinctly, and it brings the sweet fruit flavour that I was looking for in a cold brew this morning. It tastes like blackberry jam, green tea, maybe a tiny hint of something floral.

Cold brewing for only 10 minutes sounds too short.
With 300 mL water I don’t feel it was too short. The brew was plenty colourful, so I feel like it should be full-flavoured. I did do a few other steeps with longer steep times also, but I never got any jasmine. It might be that I was too focused on the delicious blackberry.
