I am begging run-of-the-mill tea blenders to stop adding green teas to black blends. Please. If you want a jasmine flavor, add actual jasmine flowers and not a cheap “jasmine green” that tastes like bubblegum because someone tried flavoring it with essential oils instead of real jasmine. This would be a great inexpensive tea blend if it weren’t for that green tea. There’s just enough of it to overpower the taste of the earl grey and rose petals and give you the oversteeped boiled green tea taste instead (but with a note of bubblegum.) Eugh, I’d put the rest of the bag into the worm bin if there weren’t clearly essential oils in this. Those don’t belong in tea! Leave them out!

Flavors: Bitter, Jasmine

Bio

Eel and tea lover. Big fan of dark oolongs, Nepal blacks, and fruity herbals. I occasionally make the terrible mistake of trying weird teas and then spend a good 5 minutes scrubbing my tongue with a toothbrush trying to get the taste out of my mouth.

Ratings:
100: Downright addictive.
95+: A definite favorite. This is something I’ll reach for again when I want something special.
90-95: I’d drink this again without question. There’s probably 4 ounces of it sitting by the tea kettle.
80-89: I’m glad I tried this and I’ll happily drink through the rest of the pouch. Might not be on the reorder list, though.
60-79: This is either mediocre and acceptable or I hate it and don’t want to skew the rating.
40-59: Uh, this is drinkable. Probably.
20-39: We’re entering the abyss. Here lies danger.
1-19: Please take me out if I ever try to brew this one again.
