After drinking this tea, I now know why some steepster members describe some whites as buttery. You can almost taste a film on your tongue when you’re sipping this. I opted to sweeten it as it was almost weird not having a bit of sweetness with the buttery notes.
I steeped this 3 times (so far anyway). The first was at work and I can’t control the water temperature so it was slightly bitter. The other steeps were done at home and there was no bitterness at all. I’ll admit, the buttery-ness almost reminds me of things that are too oily or almost like you’ve eaten fruit that wasn’t quite ripe. It’s a little strange in a tea. Thankfully, with some sweetener, it is really nice. I love the smell of jasmine and so drinking this tea is quite pleasant… but I still think I prefer the Davidstea jasmine black pearls.
