Unfortunately I didn’t really pay much attention while drinking this tea flavor note wise. One of my family members was admitted to the hospital today and I was getting filled in. Since I volunteered to dog sit. This tea came from my grandfather(the one in the hospital currently) it was very fitting to drink this now. He got bought one serving size of this unprepared for me while at a coffee shop. Even though he doesn’t pay attention to flavors I like(there are a lot of them) and picked this at random. It was a great choice and very thoughtful.
Inspecting the tea: I thought this would be loose leaf since the sachet looks just like the David’s Tea samples you get. So much to my surprise I opened it up to find a silken loose leaf tea filled sachet. I was struggling to find a clean tea strainer so this was quite convenient. I brewed it as directed for 3 minutes at 190 F. The dry tea sachet smells very floral and fresh.
Tasting: This is the best Jasmine tea I’ve ever had. It’s very sweet and floral but fresh as well. In my opinion It’s not exactly perfume-y like so many Jasmine teas are. There are sweet vegetal notes and sweet fresh floral notes. I really unfortunately didn’t pay much attention but it was an amazing cup. I need to add this to my buy more of list.
Flavors: Flowers, Sweet

I’ve had one Steven Smith tea, their herbal blend Meadow, and remember it being quite good. I recall seeing a few of their teas (like two others besides the Meadow blend?) in a grocery store out here since they are a Portland OR based brand and I live in the Pacific NW, so I’ll have to pick up the other flavors I haven’t tried yet. I’ve been meaning to try more of their teas as well!
