A more astringent and jasmine-y tea than other jasmine pearl teas I’ve had. The word that keeps coming to mind is “harsher” but that conveys negativity. It’s not as smooth nor as delicate as others, but it’s not a bad thing.
Maybe I should say it’s a more masculine jasmine pearl. It’s good. Almost powerful. Yummy.
I’ve got a lot of interests: sushi, science fiction/fantasy, medieval recreation, cooking (specifically medieval cooking), reading, British science fiction (Doctor Who!), hand sewing and now TEA!!
My favorites tend to be oolongs and flavored black teas. I like highly flavored teas more than delicate ones. Rooibos tends to taste like dirt to me, and hibiscus is very sour to my palate. But I’m always up to try all sorts of things, and will often find things that I really like which I thought I’d hate.
