I’ve been trying to find a decent bagged jasmine tea, to drink at work, where loose leaf teas are not practical.
This is not it.
I agree with others here who said the scent is very artificial. I’m not really sure how to describe the flavor; I had the first cup as is, and it sort of tasted vaguely like alfalfa, but not in a good way, with an unpleasant aftertaste I can’t quite place. I tried a second cup sweetened, making sure I followed the instructions correctly, and it didn’t taste much better. In fact, I think the aftertaste was worse.
I was dreading finishing the cup, but I managed, so I guess this isn’t the worst tea I’ve had. I don’t think I can bring myself to use the rest, though.
Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C
3 min, 45 sec
Harney & Sons has a decent jasmine, as does Mighty Teas. Both are bagged. I’d recommend either for ease of office steeping.
Oh, thank you! I will try them. :)
