drank Jasmine Tea by Ten Ren
1300 tasting notes

Technically a sipdown but I only had two teabags, squirreled away years ago from a hotel on a previous trip to Taiwan. Honestly I should have finished these long ago, they’re stamped 2017! Whether that’s the production date or the expiration date, either way it is too long to let a green tea lie around. So this seemed like a good moment to enjoy them: they’re past their peak and not my best jasmine anyway, and I have been really craving florals even though my smell/taste are still dulled. I could still make out a pleasant jasmine and a hearty green base, which is just all I really wanted or needed from it.
