Kawaii433 drank Premium Dragon Phoenix Pearls Green Jasmine Tea by Mandala Tea

379 tasting notes

Tight small little light green balls, light pale liquor, a rather strong jasmine aroma. The flavor is delicate and subtle with creamy notes. So good that this “I’m not really into Jasmine” girl is seriously considering keeping this stocked. Ultra-smooth, not soapy, not perfumey, not overwhelming, just a fresh light jasmine flavor with honey sweetness. Drinking it = automatic stress relief and while not sleepy (green tea hehe), I’m in a nice and relaxed state.

I wouldn’t have ordered it at all since I don’t really like strong jasmine but Mandala tea on twitter suggested it to a client of mine during one of our conversations and since I ordered tea for him and his wife, he said to split it. ^^ It’s really good especially if you’re a jasmine lover.

Flavors: Honeysuckle, Jasmine

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Matcha, Gyokuro, Sencha, Genmaicha… Etc. I like all teas: Green, oolong, black & pu’erh (prefer ripe over raw).

Chanoyu (for matcha prep) and Gongfu cha (for other types of tea) are the main ways I prepare my tea (Gaiwan, Yixing teapot, Kyusu). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. This past year, I’ve tried many flavored now because of all of you lol. As long as there aren’t artificial sweeteners, it’s all good.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, 52Teas, Whispering Pines, Bird & Blend, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia.

The flavors I dislike: Artificial sweetener, lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, papaya, honeydew, rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, any mints, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread/pastry, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas unless they are flavored, then I may add a splash of milk.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
