82 Tasting Notes
Thanks to Azzrian for this tea from our summer swap! I was very excited to try this. If you’re wanting to break into Jasmine tea this is great because it isn’t floral or overpowering. The black tea in it makes it richer. I drank this while having my salad for lunch and it was a great combo.
This tea has a light fruity flavor that was not at all “fake” tasting. This was my first time so I steeped it at 175 for 3 minutes. I might try a bit higher temp since it didn’t go bitter on me this time.
I’m really excited to try it iced next time!
Preparation
Had a steeping of this wonderful tea yesterday. I was surprised and the attention to the level of bergamot in this blend. I did not immediately think, “I’m drinking Earl Grey!” In fact, the amount of bergamot adds a delicate amount of citrus to compliment the Laoshan Black. This was great in its “pure” state, but not being a purist I will next time try adding some honey or a touch of rock sugar to see how the flavor changes.
