Jasmine Black Tea (Steep No. B115)

I love the floral notes and the fragrance of jasmine was just right for me. This black tea was a light black which was elevated with the jasmine blossoms. I added some half and half and a 1/2 of panela sugar. I bought a .5 oz pouch, i would buy this again and will probably put it down on the teas to get in the future. I have always been a fan of jasmine tea, so maybe this is a bit biased.

Another Steepologie Advent of Tea – this one was tucked in on Day 4 with the Peppermint Bark, which is good because today’s tea is a Rooibus, and yesterday’s was an herbal, and I am in dire need of caffeine right now.

I like jasmine tea – jasmine oolongs are one of my favorites for when I have Chinese food. (I learned to love them while eating out, when you couldn’t get milk for your tea, and I continue to drink them without milk.)

This one, being a black tea with added jasmine, I adulterated with a bit of milk, and it came out just lovely. The jasmine flavor is quite strong, but there’s an odd aftertaste that I can’t place – possibly the milk? I’ll have to try resteeping the leaves and drinking it straight.

I won’t be seeking this one out since I have to mail-order my tea from Steepologie, but I would quite happily drink it again. Definitely on the list of “yup, this one is worth it.” And if I’m ever in the store and am looking to just get a cuppa, I’d be happy to have this one.
