Dear glorb, who would have thought jasmine and black tea would marry so wonderfully in flavor and aroma? This is the best jasmine-scented tea I’ve ever had. So easy to drink. The Yunnan black really brings the heady florals of jasmine down a notch despite the strong yet pleasing non-perfumey aroma of the contents of the bag. Jasmine top note, fruity mid and cocoa base. Thick, sweet and some astrigency that I find pleasing and may be well masked if you’re the type of person to add milk to your tea. Interesting kind of spicy warming feeling that sticks around. This tea is very pricey but M. Whispering Pines is a master at the blending/scenting game. Curiosity wins again.
Edit: I keep upping the rating as I think about it more.

Sounds yum!
Ooh, very interesting!
Sounds delicious. Verdant has a jasmine scented Golden Fleece black tea that’s really good too.
Even I’d be willing to try this one, and we know how I typically get on with jasmine…
If you did ok with the Pomelo Fragrance Oolong, you’ll probably be ok with this one.
