This remains as one of my all-time favourite teas – another one that I’m sure I’ve reviewed in the past, yet there are no tasting notes saved for this tea… when will the Steepster Thief be finally caught? What is the point of taking the time to write out my thoughts as reviews if they are prone to random disappearances? What can be done to prevent more innocent casualties? This town needs a hero…
The jasmine aroma for the dry leaf is amazing. Floral, sweet and sultry, seducing the senses into instant relaxation. The aroma of the brewed tea is just the same, especially when combines with quality green tea. The flavour is full-bodied and slightly vegetal, just how I like my green teas. I always forget how good this tea is because I have so many other ones I am wanting to finish, so I put off drinking this one until I remember again how enjoyable it really is. It’s like re-discovering an old friend who has never left your side in your absence.
oh nice, this is the north van tea time. i did a review on their ti guanyin. they have lots to choose from.
This sounds like a beautiful tea! Oh jasmine, you are so lucky to be chosen to be so, so lovely!
Yes, Jasmine shines in a big pot of green tea, but don’t even think of making Jasmine Rice here. ;)
Nycoma: I believe this is their only location! Do you live in the area as well? I agree with you, they have lots of high quality tea there! I also have their Sencha Chiran, another lovely green tea. The owner suggested I try it cold brewed, which I plan on doing soon!
Jennifer: It is quite a tea! Although jasmine green tea is not at all unique, this is the best rendition I have yet to come across.
MrQuackers: Haha, that is a different story, although not an unpleasant one. :)
every time i go in, they are ready to help.. nice people. yea i live in NV.
