This was a sample Dylan won in Teavivre’s facebook contest. Thanks Teavivre!
The night before last we did a comparison of the jasmine teas we have. This is the clear winner of last nights trial. I was fully prepared to deal with a nauseous tummy. This is the core of my hatred for floral things. To my delight I’ve discovered not all floral teas are equal. As long as the floral is not heavy or cloying I do not get a stomache from it. Score!
I thought the jasmine here was subtle. I could definitely taste it and had no trouble recognizing what it was. It just wasn’t rearing up to apply a breath weapon on me. The green tea was crisp, light and crunchy. It had a fruity sweetness to it that reminded me of apples. It was vastly different from the other greens I’ve experienced in a very pleasant way. The base and the jasmine worked perfectly with each other making this tea, in my opinion, jasmine tea perfection.

I met a wonderful young man today in Teavana. We talked tea and he said he loved Jasmine Dragon Pearls. I told him I had just ordered a pound from Teavivre for myself and a friend. He was shocked and wanted to know how much it cost. I told him it was around $27 for the pound. He was really shocked then. Teavana’s works out to $96 a pound! Thank you, Teavivre!
That is awesome, finding a new tea friend. Teavana’s prices are a big part of my lack of interest in their teas. Cost and selling tactics.
Now here’s a great Jasmine tea! :))
Oops, $27 for a HALF pound! So $54 instead of $96. Great deal still, though!
That’s a good price.
@ScottTeaMan I was really impressed with it. I had totally given into the thought that I couldn’t have jasmine tea. Some of them make my tummy really sour and I end up holding back the gag reflex while I’m trying to drink them.
I agree with ScottTeaMan there, it’s still a good deal :D
HHHhhhmmmm…….I never have met a Jasmine Pearl I didn’t like.
Do you resteep the leaves Missy?? How many times??
I have tried a couple of different jasmine pearls and other jasmine teas now and in my opinion, this tea is the clear winner out of all of them! I always resteep this at least once too so it is definitely worth this price (which is also the best price for pearls!).
