June's Flame drank China Jasmine Da Zhang Select Organic - ZJ56 by Upton Tea Imports

46 tasting notes

So this was a nice serviceable Jasmine at a reasonable price, but I didn’t love it to pieces. I was looking to reproduce a lovely Jasmine that I had recently at a local Thai restaurant and this wasn’t quite as good as that. You definitely get the lovely Jasmine top note scents and the standard Jasmine tea mouth feel, but I was hoping it would be a bit more robust and complex. Longer brewing with more leaves helped a bit, but still wasn’t quite there. A good standard Jasmine, just nothing super special.

Bio

I started drinking coffee at the age of 12, but I have recently found that the coffee I always enjoyed gives me headaches. Luckily I have no such issues with tea. I have just begun to discover the joys of a good cup of tea and figuring out what I like and don’t. So far I prefer black tea either Fujian, Keemun, Assam or Darjeeling that are fruit forward with a wisp of acidity or smokiness. I occasionally will drink green, jasmine or a bold white, but typically just to change things up. I hate fake fruit flavors, bitter tea or blah tea with no punch.

I live in the desert southwest, so in the hot summer afternoons you’ll likely find me iced tea in hand with a slice of lemon and sprig of mint. I also am a semi-foodie who enjoys a sharp sauvignon blanc, a jammy zinfandel or a dirty martini with the stinkiest cheese possible.

I am science nerd librarian with a love of fantasy books and astronomy. I am slowly writing a novel and dream of becoming a real writer and escaping the stacks.
