12 Tasting Notes
2nd infusion:
The balance shifted slightly towards the green tea flavours with this infusion. Much more tannin as well. I probably slightly overinfused it this time (should have been 3:30 rather than 4 min). I preferred the first infusion, but this was still a very pleasant and drinkable cup, though not quite up to the standard of the magnificent Rare Tea Company Silver Needle Jasmine.
Preparation
1st infusion:
Strong honey + jasmine aroma (dry leaves, steeped leaves and liquor)
Well balanced between tea and Jasmine flavours, more tea comes through than white jasmine teas.
A little of the fuzz from the leaves is present in the infusion (a good thing!)
