When it comes to scented teas, some flowers translate into better flavor than others. I was excited to try this blend because I love the fragrance of gardenia and had never experienced it in tea form before.
I brewed 4g in a 120ml gaiwan using almost boiling water for 1 minute, adding 20s to each subsequent steep. In a heated gaiwan, the tea leaves have an alluring aroma of perfume and flowers. The taste is like jasmine and rose combined, sweet with notes of warm spice. It reminds me of a high grade jasmine green tea but lacks the clean and delicate taste of a real jasmine tea. It’s pleasant enough though not particularly remarkable. The heavenly, lustrous aroma of gardenia flowers unfortunately can’t be found in the taste.
Flavors: Flowers, Spices
Exactly felt the same.
Hi LuckyMe,
I also like scene of gardnia. I suggest you try some good oolong leaves originally have thr aroma of gardernia rather than the one with mixed oolong leaves and flowers.
It is fatastic and so far becomes the one of the favrite oolong leaves.
