Grabbed this at the store last weekend and decided to have it today as part of my post-lunch tea ritual. Tastes very jasmine-y. It’s pretty strong, even when directly from the refrigerator. As it warms up, I start getting hints of green tea in there but oddly enough, it’s making me think of cookie dough. Jasmine flavored cookie dough. It’s something about the sweetness of it that gives me that feel, I think. Getting warmer now and the green tea is coming through in a less cookie dough way and a more astringent whoosh at the end. Not bitter or tart but kind of fresh feeling. And I’ve either gotten used to the strong jasmine or the green is countering it a bit. It’s not the most sophisticated jasmine I’ve had but it’s certainly not the worst. Much more of a natural jasmine floral than a perfumed jasmine floral. I think this ends up being a pretty nice RTD tea.

Yep, it was pretty funky! It actually worked in a weird way though – and I’m thinking the cookie dough taste was really my brain misfiring or something.
Mmm, sweet potatoes! What brand? Samovar’s Yunnan Golden Buds taste very sweet potato-y too. I ♥ it.
Jasmine flavored cookie dough? Ergh.

I had a golden monkey tea today that tasted like sweet potatoes.
