drank Green Jasmine by Fortnum & Mason
3240 tasting notes

FORTNUM & MASON ADVENT DAY 15

My first non-black tea in this advent! And I love jasmine tea, but don’t usually drink it at breakfast. Hmmm. Decided to go for it anyway and just had a toasted and buttered English muffin so the tea could shine.

And… it is a decent jasmine green! I like it. The jasmine is pretty middle of the road here, not too weak, not too strong, just right. I can taste the green base and it is pretty smooth and sweet tasting with just enough grassiness to give you the feel of green tea base. It isn’t strong with seaweed flavors or anything, just a nice, neutral green base to carry the jasmine flavor. Might get lots more green base if it is drunk on its own and not with food.

Thumbs up, will enjoy drinking the rest of this tin.

Sounds like I should have gotten one of your advents! My Mariage Freres tea has only had about 2 days of black tea so far. All this green isn’t really my thing.

I have a feeling there is about to be a run of green tea!

Yeah they seem to put all of the similar teas in a row… A horrible idea, really, ha ha. :P

A good idea would be to have an all black advent calendar or green etc. THAT would be a good idea.

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fourteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
