Rishi was the first ‘real’ tea company I was introduced to. I’ve kept this tea stocked in my tea cupboard consistently for five years, and I return to it to measure other teas, to measure my own palate.
This time, the Jasmine seems unbalanced. I taste the sweet gentleness of the green tea first, and then an astringent, pungent Jasmine taste after. There isn’t a connection between the sweetness and the astringency – the flavor just jumps from the first to the second without warning. Surely, this can’t be how it’s always tasted, right?
