I was in the mood for Jasmine again after enjoying the Craft Revival Hand Tied Jasmine Buds from Verdant last night. This one is pretty good also, but at least in early steepings there is too much jasmine and not enough of anything else. I’m also tasting this right after having the best jasmine tea I’ve ever had, though, so it’s hard for me to be overly enthusiastic about this one.
Tea means so many things to me, it is so deep and it is revealing new meaning to me all the time.
Tea is a mindfulness practice, and a doorway through which to explore different philosophies, cultures, and historical times. Tea is hospitality and a way of communion. Tea is an art, a ritual, and a tradition. Tea is a complement to the foods I eat (preferably vegan desserts) and is something I enjoy collecting and curating.
I love to swap, or even just send people samples, so if there’s anything in my cupboard you’d like to try, just send me a message!
