carol who drank Night Blooming Jasmine by Spice of Life

467 tasting notes

I have always loved the scent of jasmine. This smelled sooooo good. There were no steeping parameters provided. I used 212 degrees, 2 minutes. It smelled really good but was too astringent for me. It needed a little sweetener. It had a great aroma but it wasn’t really that good tasting. I guess I could try again. Maybe only 1.5 minutes? A little less leaf? I guess I’ll have to experiment a bit.

I can’t find any info on the company on line because they are redoing their site. I’ll look for it again later/

Flavors: Astringent, Jasmine

Well… another stupid Carol thing:( I trusted the salesperson to right the correct type of tea on the package. Dumb! It is a green tea. My next cup was much better! :D

Disappointing. This is a black tea? Try slightly cooler (205°) with a shorter infusion time would be my recommendation.

Profile

Bio

Retired first grade teacher. I tend to like dessert type/herbal teas as a substitute for sweet treats; flavored black teas and mates to get that energy that I am often lacking ;-p
My husband of 43 years thinks I’m nuts regarding the whole tea thing… but he bought me a Breville for Christmas, so what can I say. :-D
My other interests are reading (books go well with tea :D) and beading. I volunteer at my “old” school teaching reading and I volunteer for the blind. I am trying hard to lose weight ( I have now lost 40 lbs and I’m looking good in my skinny jeans, IMHO) I am now walking about 4.5 miles a day and I am trying to do some core work for about 30 min. 3x a week.

I have been watching Doctor Who for 33years. In case you can’t tell my avatar is two daleks drinking tea! I am always open to swapping Doctor Who books for tea. I have about 120 Doctor Who books that I am eager to send some to a fan. :D Let me know if you would like any books! I love that so many people have begun watching DW!

Also I love swaps, pm me if you’d like to do a swap.

Since I find others’ rating legends helpful, I added my own.

95-100 A once in a lifetime experience; the best there is; will keep this stocked until the cows come home

90-94 First rate; top notch; really terrific; will definitely buy more

80-89 Excellent; likely to become a favorite, will likely buy more

70-79 Very good; would enjoy again, might buy again if in the mood for this particular one or a better, similar version not available or it’s on a really good sale :-)

50-69 Good; wouldn’t pass up if offered, but probably wouldn’t buy again unless craving this particular flavor

Below 50 Meh! Wouldn’t bother drinking it again.
