The flower is very pretty. The color, even after seven minutes is very light. I tried shewhoreads’s suggestion and followed the directions at the link she gave me on a comment to an earlier tasting note involving raspberry green tea. After navigating that sentence, I think it might be cool enough to sip.
First cup: Smells very pretty. The tea tastes very floral and sweet, but still need to cool. After taking the flower out, I can see the tea has a very light yellow green color. Still smells pretty, and I can really taste the jasmine. There is some astringency that might be tea behind it but it tastes kind of like hot jasmine water.
Second cup: Still smells pretty. Definitely more of a traditional tea taste in this one. First thing you taste is jasmine, then as you swallow, I’m guessing the green tea kicks in. Just not sure if it supposed to be this weak. It still tastes mostly like hot water.
Third cup: Still smells pretty, but with less jasmine taste. If that is what green tea tastes like, why do so many people like it? This is not the same tea note under the raspberry green tea from celestial seasonings. In fact, this is pretty much unpalatable. It leaves my mouth kind of dry from the astringent nature of the tea. I knew this flowering tea was most likely old since I recieved a huge amount with the flowering tea set that I ordered from woot.com, but this is just kind of ridiculous.
No more green tea experiments until I can find something that is like real green tea. Or at least not something that I don’t know when it was prepared.
These blooming teas are just an absolute delight to the senses. They smell beautiful, they look beautiful as they open, and the taste is simply wonderful- floral, and very rich and satisfying. The tea is also delicious cold, if you don’t feel like consuming the whole pot of it in one sitting.
Making a pot of this tea is a sure way to win new friends and strengthen previous friendships! It’s an experience worth having. A beautiful invention!
Sweeter than most jasmine blends, even when steeped for a strong tea. The flower opens with a purple bloom that fades to pink as the tea steeps. The leaves and petals did not separate from the bloom even under the flow of boiling water.
Flavors: Floral, Flowers, Green, Jasmine
