I love jasmine. I have always loved jasmine; as an elementary schooler, I insisted on eating jasmine rice and drinking jasmine tea whenever my mother would let me. She thought it was kind of strange, but went along with it. This tea is, without a doubt, the best jasmine tea I have ever tasted. It’s light, it’s sweet without being cloying, everything about it tastes fresh and natural and makes my taste buds start a happy dance. I’ve noticed that with a lot of jasmine teas, there is a sense of artificial flavor, like they just sprayed a perfume over the leaves instead of scenting the tea naturally with jasmine flowers. I don’t get any sense of chemicals or artificial flavor or anything from this lovely, lovely tea. Just fresh, clear, deliciousness. My boyfriend opened up my new shipment tonight, and he kept on smelling the bag for the next 10 minutes, he was so enamored with the scent. He got the first steep, though I’ve taken all subsequent ones. I believe I’m on the third or fourth steep, and the jasmine flavor has receded a bit, but the tea is still holding out. It tastes a little like beans to me, actually, but I’m also kind of hungry and may just be imagining things. What a lovely tea to review for my first ever tasting note.
