No one has rated this yet? I accidentally steeped it way longer than the parameters on the bag. The bag says 30 seconds. I got distracted and steeped it for a minute and a half. The first time I steep a tea, I always try to stick to the recommendations and then change things from there based on personal preference or suggestions of others. Next time, I will steep with the recommended parameters.

The tea was fairly smooth and not vegetal. The jasmine was present but not cloying or artificial. A really good jasmine green. It isn’t as sweet as I was expecting though.

It resteeped well through 2 more infusions before I ran out of time today.

Preparation
175 °F / 79 °C 1 tsp

I like shorter steeps with this one. But we’ve got alot of our restaurant and coffeehouse clients who are using less leaf and longer steeps times(2 to 3 minutes) for their customers and getting very good results, too. If you are looking for a sweeter green jasmine, our dragon pearl green jasmine is outta sight and steeps many many many times over. Thanks for your tasting notes lately! I am grateful you took the time!

Thanks Garret, I will try those pearls next order!
I will also try both different steeping recommendations!

Hello,
I am a nurse. I have numerous hobbies: reading, crocheting, crafting, card making, scrapbooking, photography, shopping, and of course drinking TEA!

I started drinking loose leaf tea in Dec. 2010 when I went into a DavidsTea for the first time and have been hooked ever since! My favourite is probably white tea, but I also love black and oolong. I also like a nice relaxing rooibos or herbal in the evening. On Sundays, I like to treat myself and make a tea latte.

My favourite flavours are nutty, vanilla, chocolate, jasmine, tropical, fruity, earl grey.
My dislikes are lavender, rose, hibiscus, banana, and straight green or overly vegetal teas.

I am admittedly fairly generous in my rating scale. Most of my teas I rate at 90 and above, and would re-stock these teas.
Anything under 90 I probably wouldn’t re-stock unless I found a great price.
