I got this tea mostly so that my mother could try it. Of course, I had to sample it myself, but didn’t expect to like it since I don’t like Jasmine. It turns out that it wasn’t as bad as I expected, though I still won’t be purchasing this for myself in the future. The jasmine is subtle, hence why I could enjoy my cup at all. It tastes much like a delicate floral oolong with a creamy vegetal base. I’ve been advised that a second steeping will bring out the pine needle, but I only took a first steeping in a thermos to my parents house (one of the last few times I will be doing this because they are moving this week).
My mother liked it (she loves jasmine), so that is what matters :) She said it is a very calming/relaxing tea.
