I went to the store that I don’t visit often; as it is nearby my work, but closed when I go to work and when I am going home, I am catching the train and have no time. But today, I have left work late; and train just left when I was left the company. And another one in a hour.
As there is no place to wait but outside, I decided to call home if someone could pick me up (it’s about 20 minutes) and they have agreed. But I was hungry, so I went to that shop. And when I was shopping, I saw this bottled kombucha, from a brand I never heard of and decided to give it a try. There was “last chance” label on it, so probably it isn’t sold as they much as they have hoped. To be honest it is no surprise, because I bet there aren’t much people who would buy a glass bottle with something they don’t even know how to pronounce correctly; with rather higher price tag.
I digressed greatly from the tea itself, so sorry for that and here below are my impressions:
It is very refreshing and not sweet. Actually as they claim, they have used apple juice instead of sugar; and well, it works well. The green tea isn’t too strong, giving me impressions of mediocre tea used, hay-grassy notes. On the first sip I couldn’t notice jasmine at all, but later on it became prominent and gave me a nice impression and brought florals, but in just right level; so it wasn’t soapy. Definitely there are no artificial or chemical notes in this bottle. For the price tag, I wouldn’t buy it for daily drinking, though.
I am glad you finally got a chance to visit the shop! It sounds like the tea was a fun find.
Definitely, and probably I never heard of jasmine kombucha before!
