We are having another dreary, rainy day, so I had to pull out something jasmine from my stash; it has a magical property which puts me in a good mood!
Beautiful rolled leaves striped with jasmine flowers. A real treat to look at.
First infusion: Sweet, light, and delightful! I had it in my mind that I preferred jasmine oolongs, but I see that I once again put myself into an incorrect box! I love this tea!
Second infusion (4 min): Slightly darker in color. A slightly more green taste and slightly less jasmine taste make it a very harmonious, delicious cup. Totally in a better mood!
Third infusion (5 min): This tea has had it – I am sipping slightly jasmine tasting warm water. I will finish it because I’m freezing!!! but if I had more of this tea I would only make two infusions.
To me, the second infusion is the better of the two, but both are very enjoyable.
I would call “TIN!” but I have a tin of A+D Jasmine Green in my stash, plus I really, really want to try Samovar’s Jasmine Pearl Green Tea first. It looks exquisite!
Jasmine tea is my happy tea!!!

MINE TOO =)
I wasn’t super fond of this one. Luckily I have Adagio’s Jasmine Pearl (x2 tins) and lotsss of delicious jasmine silver needles ;)
I did enjoy this one, but I did have a feeling that there might be better ones out there and wanted to experiment before I bought a tin. People always say that they wish you could bottle happiness – well, jasmine tea is pretty close :)
I just (re)discovered Jasmine Tea and now I know what you are talking about! Jasmine tea is fast becoming my spring-afternoon ‘happy tea’, too! I get it, now! YAY!
I just discovered Jasmine (green) tea and thoroughly enjoyed it. I can see it being happiness in a cup and springtime in a cup. I can also see it becoming a favorite.
