Yes it is cloying.
Yes I enjoy it.
No, it does not live up to its jasmine name.

Syrupy, blueberry-blackberry aroma smells great. Somehow doesn’t overpower the green tea base in taste? Grassy and mineral with a green tea body and thankfully the cloyingly sweet aroma doesn’t come through as a sweet taste. The tea is adorned with various flower petals: jasmine, marigold and cornflower which give a pretty look; I do not taste the jasmine at all. That’s ok. One tsp is good for 2-8oz steeps.

The weather was balmy and sprinkling today and I’m suffering from a reproductive woman’s ailments. Had four cups already today and there’s enough left for two more cups. I like this easy-sipper today and will probably finish the bag. Thanks, ashmanra :)
