A.C. Perch Advent 2021 Day 2

Disclaimer: I don’t think anyone else is doing A.C. Perch, but let me know if that’s not the case and I’ll try to hold off posting until a bit later in the day.

I don’t know if I ever had a jasmine tea. I certainly don’t seek them out, but I don’t really have a reason why.

This tea smells of jasmine and mint and I don’t really mind the scent. The jasmine seems to be a mix of sweet and musty (though the sweetness could be the mint).

The taste is very mellow. Subtle hints of mint and jasmine intertwined equally, not neither too strong. I understeeped this by one minute because 5 minutes seemed extreme for a green tea base (granted so did 4 minutes). There is a slight peppermint coolness in the aftertaste, but it’s still mellow. I’m quite happy with this one!

Whaaaat never had jasmine?! It’s one of the few florals I really like. :)

Yes, I recommend the best: if you ever do a Teavivre order, grab a sample of any of their jasmine teas. If you aren’t a fan after you taste that, you probably just don’t need to drink jasmine teas. haha.

Yeah, you can’t go wrong with Teavivre’s introduction to jasmine. They and Verdant’s (now defunct) Jasmine Silver Needle got me hooked! :)

Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to remember for my next Teavivre order!

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
