drank China Jasmine by T2
1204 tasting notes

Sipdown of another tea I could have sworn I had already written a note for… is Steepster eating notes again? This jasmine is fine. It’s not terrible, but it’s also not the most stunning jasmine green I’ve ever had. It just sort of falls squarely in the middle as floral on a vegetal green base. Brewed just-so, at 175f for 2-4 minutes, it tastes floral and fine. But if overbrewed, it takes on that aftertaste you get from a jasmine tea that’s been flavored rather than scented. I don’t definitively know that to be the case here and can’t tell from the T2 website – it may be that this flavor is happening because the base has oversteeped. Either way, not super enjoying that element and ended up adding some vanilla agave to soften it.
