Cameron B. drank Jasmine Tea by William Rabbit British Tearoom

4330 tasting notes

Home – 8:00 PM

From my swap with AJRimmer.

I do enjoy jasmine green teas. I should really find one to keep on hand – I’ll have to get a sample of Teavivre’s to try the next time I order from them.

This tea is almost entirely jasmine in its flavor. I don’t really taste the green tea except for briefly in the aftertaste. I can just catch a bit of dry leaf and apricot as well as a touch of astringency. The jasmine is very sweet, it almost tastes as if I’ve added sweetener to the cup.

It’s still fairly tasty, even if it is a bit too strong on the jasmine.

Flavors: Apricot, Autumn Leaf Pile, Floral, Jasmine, Sweet

Preparation

175 °F / 79 °C 3 min, 0 sec 3 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

My favorite jasmine from Teavivre is Jasmine Dragon Pearl, although the Superfine Downy is more expensive and supposed to be a finer tea. I love all of their jasmine teas. Their peach jasmine dragon pearl is quite good, also. Have you tried any of those?

I’ve probably tried one or more of them at some point, but it would’ve been a few years ago so I don’t recall. :P

Their shipping is so reasonable that I’ll likely just make a small sample order early next year.

To correct my first statement, my favorite is their Premium Jasmine Dragon Pearl. They do sell one without the word Premium and I don’t think I have tried it,

Bio

Hi, I’m Cameron!

I’m a 30-something software engineer currently living in Austin, Texas with my husband and our two pugs, Gobo and Ume. I tend to cycle between my different hobbies, and they include piano, knitting, video games, board games, miniature painting, planners, bento, Korean skincare, and – of course – TEA! But really, what I’m best at is “collecting” hobby-related things… ;)

~ 2025 SIPDOWN CHALLENGE! ~
- February sipdowns: 5
- Total 2025 sipdowns: 39

I prefer my tea lukewarm or at room temperature and without milk or sugar. I steep Western style, and fluctuate between using big mugs or small teapots depending on the season.

I am always up for a swap! Just let me know if you’d like to try something in my cupboard.

Tea Preferences:
I enjoy both flavored and unflavored teas in many forms. These days, I drink mostly flavored teas, and I tend to gravitate most toward black, green, oolong, and herbal varieties. I do have a special fondness for straight Japanese green teas, however.

I do not sweeten my teas, and pre-sweetened teas are usually too sweet for me. I also do not enjoy stevia (or monkfruit, etc.).

I tend to reach for fruitier flavors rather than desserty ones these days, but I do have favorites from both categories. Willing to try anything once! There are a few ingredients/flavors that aren’t generally my jam, such as coconut, rose, lavender, and chocolate flavoring. But I also have teas that I love with some of those things, too! :)

Favorite Companies:
3 Leaf
Bird & Blend
Dammann Frères
Harney & Sons
Kyoto Obubu Tea Farms
Lupicia
Old Barrel Tea Co
Simpson & Vail
Taiwan Tea Crafts
TeaVivre

Tea Rating Scale:
90-100: Outstanding! Permanent cupboard resident
80-89: Great – a possible staple
70-79: Good, but I wouldn’t buy it
60-69: It’s decent
50-59: Meh… I may or may not have finished the cup
40-49: Ick. Couldn’t finish it.
00-39: Repulsive, I spat it out

I will sometimes refrain from rating a tea if I feel I’m too biased due to my personal dislikes, or if I suspect the sample has been compromised by age or scent contamination.
