Jasmine Yin Hao (meaning ‘Silver Tip’) is a deeply perfumy green tea from the Fujian province of China. Very layered and lingering floral aroma. Soft, full-bodied and sweet flavor with a slight dryness in the finish. Our Jasmine Yin Hao grade is among the highest for green jasmine teas. This jasmine green tea has been infused with jasmine many times over to create a truly unforgettable experience.
Famous detective Sherlock Holmes is known for his forays into the experimental, but did you know that his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, was just as inquisitive? After hearing about the poisonous plant Carolina jasmine, also known as gelsemium, he decided to test the effects on himself, taking ever greater doses until he could no longer handle the symptoms. If this story makes you a little squeamish though, have no fear. In classic mystery novel form, gelsemium is an impostor plant, bearing no true relation to jasmine at all! Jasmine tea only uses real jasmine, typically Jasminum sambac.

I had this last night and don’t remember exactly what it tasted like but want to make sure I make a record for future referece. I definitely enjoyed this tea, but not enough to remember it very well I guess haha! The jasmine smell was a lot stronger than I expected and the green tea was way stronger than what I’m used to too. Easy to oversteep and make really bitter. If I was expecting the biterness I might have enjoyed it more though. Anyway, this one was interesting and I would recommend it to my future-self if I start wanting stronger green tea with my jasmine

Flavors: Bitter, Jasmine
SIPDOWN #4
So this is the last of my Jasmine Yin Hao. I steeped this cup slightly longer than usual, at 2min30sec. Getting a very strong floral flavor with the vegetal green tea flavor sitting more in the background. At 2.5 minutes it is ever so slightly bitter, but not so much that it ruins the cup. I am not sure if I will get this again, or if I will try another Jasmine. I have decided I do like Jasmine tea, but I don’t think this is the exact one for me. More experimentation will have to be done.
Flavors: Floral, Jasmine, Vegetal
This was the first, true jasmine tea I’ve ever had and I was very impressed. Every jasmine tea I’ve had after it has either been too floral or too astringent for me. In other words, all others pale in comparison. Adagio seemed to have been out of stock for a while, but it’s back now and I’m so, so, so very happy it is! Sometimes you just hafta have some jasmine tea, yanno? Although jasmine tea isn’t my favorite, it’s good for what it is! A must-try for jasmine tea lovers!
I guess I’m just not a fan of jasmine. I found this to be nearly undrinkable and the smell started to give me a headache. I threw out the last 1/4 of the cup. Someone else said the jasmine got more subtle on resteeps, so maybe I’ll throw out the first steep next time I try it. I’m glad I only got the sample!
