Jasmine Petal

Am drinking this right now. I survived my major dental work but oweeee my mouth and tongue certainly are hurting.

I love jasmine teas. This one the flavor is very subtle and soft.This is a staple tea in my cupboard and I cant believe I never logged it prior. I never think to log this one as it is simply always an option and always present. Nothing earth shattering but a good cup of tea to have by your side.

This is another of the generous samples sent along to me by Two Leaves and a Bud recently. Early on, I can say that I enjoy the fact that this has such a mild jasmine aroma. That’s because this isn’t a scented green, but a green with some jasmine petals in with it.

I brewed the tea related to the specifications on the package and I think it was too long. It said 5 minutes steeping (I did closer to 3 1/2 minutes) and I think it was still too long. There’s a weird after-taste that I’m not particularly fond of. Other than that, the tea itself is pretty light. I like that there is very little jasmine flavor… almost nonexistent, yet enough to be able to tell it’s there if you’re looking for it, I guess.

I’m not explaining this very well, am I?

In any case, I think if brewed a little shorter, this would taste better to me, but overall, it’s just sort of “meh” to me.

I’m not usually a big green tea drinker, but this one is quite nice. I found this one at T.J.Maxx for 3 bucks marked down. I buy a lot of my teas that way. What I like about this tea is while it smells and tastes of jasmine, its not overpowering. A&D’s jasmine was way too much jasmine for me. This tea is relaxing and just a little sweet. I get just a little bitterness towards the bottom of the cup but not too much. This is not a tea I would purchase at full price but for the price I payed a good bargain.
The second steep of this tea actually tastes better than the first. No bitterness at all.

I got this sachet from BrewTEAlly Sweet :)

Not a bad little bagged jasmine! Very much like the kind they serve at good Chinese restaurants. Always welcome in my tea stash ;)

this is a nice tea for the current chilly early spring weather. the floral aroma gets me excited to see spring flowers. the dry leaf and brew have a very strong jasmine scent, but the tea is only subtle in jasmine flavor.A little bit of the grassy green tea comes through. The package says to steep for 5 minutes, but that was too long. the tea was too bitter. i’d say don’t do more than 3 minutes. A simple and refreshing tea.

amandajo sent me this to try…thanks!

It’s a very smooth green tea, with a strong smell of jasmine. The taste isn’t as strong as the smell (which is a very good thing). Definitely one of the better jasmine teas that I’ve had!!

What a wonderful aroma and floral flavor!! A great tea when unwinding after a long day or if you don’t want a lot of caffeine!! Just as great the second steeping!!

This was my wake up tea today. It is indeed very floral; it almost tickles the tongue. The green tea is pleasant, not overtly grassy or overpowering and quite refreshing.

Picked this up from Whole Foods. The kind I purchased is loose leaf, not bagged. It’s probably the best green tea I’ve ever had. I just love the floral flavor; it isn’t overpowering at all. It’s also looks beautiful while steeping.
