Thanks to The Persimmon Tree for including this sample in my order. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have ordered it myself so this must be a freebie.
The jury is still out on whether or not I actually like jasmine. I had some Jasmine Phoenix Pearls the other week that were pretty good, but I’m liking the jasmine in this one much less than that. The passion fruit is nice and the green tea is strong but bearable (I only like a few green teas so far). I can’t really taste that there is black tea in this at all. The jasmine is quite strong though.
I guess this is a good blend. I don’t hate it and I’ll drink the rest of my pot.
Mmm.. I completely forgot I had this tea! But I’m happy I found it. And good thing too because I’ve been craving a jasmine tea. Anyways.. this tea smells wonderful, fruity and floral. The flavor is light, mostly floral with fruity undertones. The flavors blend well :] This makes a good tea to just sit and relax with.
I oversteeped this by just a hint this time, but it doesn’t suffer for it at all. The base is more robust but it doesn’t quite make it to bitter. The fruit and florals are both present but the jasmine is a little deeper and fruitier this time around. The middle of the sip is astringent but not too much, and it all makes for a nice, complex cup.
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!
The jasmine flavor in this tea is delicious, and the black tea flavor (which I usually dislike) isn’t too strong. The green tea seems to mellow out the black tea flavor nicely. Today I finished my sample of this, and while I enjoyed the sample I won’t be buying more. I prefer plain jasmine green tea.
Jennkay sent me a sample of this, and I am so happy that she did because I probably would not have picked this based on the name. I thought the “passion” part meant it was just going to be like an extra delicious jasmine tea, but the passion fruit essence really made it so so good. This was nicely sweet without any additives and had that great floral jasmine aspect that I am loving so much. I also didn’t have any trouble brewing this even though mixed black & green combos can sometimes be a little finicky. This is another one from Persimmon Tree that I would consider buying.

Backlog
I steeped this up double strength, and then iced it. The dry leaf of this smells sweet and jasmine.
The jasmine and fruity notes of this blend together so seamlessly. Sweet and fruity and floral, but also slightly vegetal from the green tea, with an extra something in the depth from the black tea. This is a perfect candidate for an iced tea on a hot day.
This tea definitely smells very juicy, the sharpness of the passion fruit is cut by a fruity jasmine that together slightly reminds me of starburst candies. this sample is a little old now, so I can imagine that a new batch may smell quite intense.
This tea is a mix of black and green teas. This includes a CTC so I am going to be conservative with my brewing time and temperature. It is also scattered with jasmine flowers.
I brewed this @ 87°C for 2.45 min, which resulted in a clear copper red brew.
This yielded a spicy fruity scented brew. Their are tones of passion fruit and something creamy and almost fig like, a fruity jasmine tone, and a tone that reminds me of juicy fruit gum. The base is present contributing a deeper malt tone, fruity tones, and a hint of baked goods.
The first sip reveals warm sweet fruit tones, opening up to sweet jasmine floral tones and a hint of vanilla, this is balanced by a malty biscuit finish with a slightly bitter spice note. There is a bit of a tannic note in this tea and a touch of astringency.
This makes for a pretty nice, soft fruit, floral blend and would probably appeal to those who like monk blend type teas.I used a steeping temperature that was slightly too high with this tea – 86C instead of 82C. I steeped it for the minimum 3 minutes and got a dark brown liquor that smelled of fruit. However, the taste was quite tart and acidic, almost metallic, and I didn’t get much jasmine. I thought sweetening the tea would soften it a bit, but it didn’t do much.
I’ll try steeping it at a lower temperature, but if that still doesn’t work out, I’ll probably add it to my swap pile.
Thanks to darby for the sample.
