MooKiwi drank Butterfly Jasmine by DAVIDsTEA

165 tasting notes

Lately, I’ve been trying to drink A LOT more green tea for the skin benefits. I’ve even started using green tea as a facial cleanser/toner (It is amazing by the way!) by applying it topically to the skin. I am trying to get more into drinking the traditional teas as I believe they are the ones with the most health benefits as opposed to all the flavoured ones. This tea is really interesting both from the point of view of taste/smell as well as visually. The hand wrapped “butterflies” are so beautiful I almost feel bad steeping this tea lol!

The scent of jasmine is incredibly strong and seems to come out more once the tea steeps. I like that this tea is flavoured so naturally as opposed to added/artificial sweeteners or flavours. In terms of taste, I would say that this tea has an acquired taste. I definitely don’t think it is for everyone. I personally however, did not overly mind the intense floral notes of this tea. For me, it is a tea I would drink again but would not rush out to buy a tin or even a bag to have on hand.

Bio

I am a tea fanatic and have also recently made the transition from vegetarian to vegan! I always have tea in my hand and in my overflowing cupboard!

I prefer black, green and white teas. I have recently discovered mate and oolongs. So far I’ve enjoyed them however, I have not tried very many. I am not often a fan of rooibos as I tend to find them overly woody but have found there to be some exceptions. As for herbals, I am only recently beginning to drink these on a regular basis (mostly iced) as the weather gets warmer, but these I am willing to try. I have not yet developped the taste for pu’erh.

I tend to only rate and review the teas I drink once (maybe twice if my opinion REALLY changes; especially if I were to have them prepared a different way). I currently only use Steepster for logging my reviews of David’s Tea although I do drink teas from many different companies. Every time I visit the store, I try something new in a cup to-go as I enjoy going through the tea menu and marking off teas as I try them. My goal is to try them all!

My rating system is as follows:
90-100: Wecome to my permanent collection! (worthy of a 100g tin!)

75-90: Definetly would drink again but maybe not all the time. I would buy a small amount (50g or less) to have once in a while.

50-75: I will finish the cup but not my favourite.

25-50: I will try to finish the cup but may not be able to.

0-25: Not my cup of tea…down the sink we go!
