I’ve been drinking through my lower end stuff to decide what to trade/give away and what to keep, in case you haven’t noticed from my recent reviews.
I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I’ve had a couple of mid-level jasmines by now, and I was always put off by how strong the jasmine was. Though the scent of the dry leaves is definitely strong, what comes out in the brew is much more subtle.
I don’t have a lot of experience with Chinese greens, so I’m not sure of the differences in flavor profiles yet for a good green and a bad one. This was…okay. It was a little astringent with some bitterness, which I don’t think was as a result of my brewing, but I suppose it’s possible. Mostly it was a very mild…tea flavor. Like I said, not much to write home about when it comes to the base.
All in all, it was still a pleasant surprise for how cheap this tea is. Though I probably won’t be keeping it, it was sill a pleasant experience.
