My goodness, these jasmine teas from Teavivre…
I always forget how scrumptious a good jasmine tea is. I don’t even like florals, but I somehow love jasmine. Here, it’s so sweet and creamy and delicious! The tea has a beautiful silky smooth texture, like a lighter version of an oolong. It’s always difficult for me to pick apart the green tea and the jasmine, but I am getting a very subtle vegetal note as well as a bit of a minerality and a touch of fuzzy apricot from the base tea.
Teavivre offers several grades of jasmine pearls, this being the cheapest one. Really, their assortment of jasmine teas is quite overwhelming… I think I have two more of their jasmine samples left to try, but I can’t imagine them possibly being vastly better than this one. There’s just not much room for improvement! :D
Flavors: Apricot, Astringent, Creamy, Floral, Mineral, Smooth, Sweet, Thick, Vegetal
My favorite is Premium Jasmine Dragon Pearls, a step up from this one but lower than Superfine Downy. It is perfect to me.
I’ll have to get samples and do a tasting sometime… XD
Jasmine tea was on my mind today too!
