Imperial Jasmine Pearls

Adventageddon Day 10

I would have loved to either brew this gongfu or make it into a big pot of tea, but I just didn’t have the time today for either. However, it was a pretty generous portion of pearls included today so I was able to make my Western mug of it and still have enough pearls left over to do a gongfu session in the future!

I personally find it’s hard to produce a bad jasmine green tea. Boring or just sort of mediocre for sure – but even a lower quality jasmine is pretty serviceable. Similar to how it’s hard to have a truly bad chamomile or peppermint. This wasn’t that, though. It was very, very smooth and round feeling on the palate with highly lush and fragrant jasmine notes on a really pleasant, naturally sweet tasting green tea. It was such a nice moment of calm and to just treat myself midday during what was a pretty busy afternoon for me.

We’re getting really close to the holiday break at work (majority of the company has a week off), but I took extra time before and after that break so I’m REALLY feeling the crunch of having to wrap up a lot of bigger projects. A soothing jasmine tea? Yeah, exactly what was needed today.
