Popular Tasting Notes
Tea leaves are large beautiful greens with reddish purple saw-tooth edges. The aroma of the wet leaf is powerful with hints of grapefruit and flowers. The flavor of this tea is good, but unfortunately was a little bit weak. Perhaps I will try to use more leaf next time. Grapefruit zest really does come through in the flavor. Mouth feel is soft but with a little ‘grip’. Overall not a bad tea. I would recommend this if you’re looking for something that’s a bit unique compared to the traditional dan cong teas. If you take the time to enjoy the aroma of wet tea leaves, this one is worth that experience alone.

Today was round 2 with this tea, and my first endeavor with re-steeping loose tea! To my delight, the second steep was just as smooth and tasty about 1 hour later. I also tried stevia in one and sugar in the other – unfortunately the stevia gave it a ‘cold’ and licorice-y taste. I think my brand of stevia is just like that, though. The sugar really brought out the caramel and made perfect for dessert, though the same goes for cream sans-sugar so I think I’ll keep it that way.
Jasmine was my starter tea. It’s easy to drink with honey or without. It also blends well with other teas. This Jasmine tea is mellow and full of Jasmine flavor. I still prefer this one with honey then without though. It’s also good cold. In order to fully appreciate the Jasmine flower flavor I had to let the tea cool down.
