What does Jasmine green tea taste like? Real or fake flavorings?

I’m thinking about buying some off Upton Tea Imports, as well as some Keemun. What does it taste like? How do I know they used real jasmine flowers instead of artificial flavorings?

I’m thinking about getting this Jasmine tea: https://secure.uptontea.com/store/item.asp?from=catalog.asp&itemID=ZJ54

If you want to be Jasmine tea, go for the Chung Jao Jasmine tea (it’s the best).
Cheaper variaties are on the market, but tend to be bitter .
Keemun is a Chinese black, if you can go for Ning Hong Jing Hao ( a top Keemun, with notes of Orchid in the background).

I enjoy
jasmine tea-http://www.teasource.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=SRCH
magnolia tea also from TeaSource is good
orchid oolong from ImperialTeacourt http://www.imperialtea.com/Orchid-Oolong-p/oolong%20tea009.htm

these floral teas have floral aroma and taste and are not bitter if brewed properly.
