Ok, not a jasmine fan so I never felt the urge to try this until a sales associate raved about it being a favourite and how I should try it as a latte because it ends up tasting like a creamsicle. Alright, fair enough. Since it’s now on sale, why not try it, right?

Made it as a latte with cow’s milk and no additional sweetener. First sip is jasmine but to be fair, it’s not as potent as it can be in other scented/flavoured jasmine blends. So I’m not sure if the milk toned it down or if it’s just not as potent to begin with. Then the citrus lingers afterwards, but since I’m sensitive to jasmine, I’m not picking up on the orange flavouring and lemon myrtle as much as I normally would.

The base is slightly floral and pairs well with the jasmine, I’ll give it that. One of the most tolerable ways I’ve ever experienced the flower, but still not my thing. I’ll be a little more generous with the rating, then, since my qualms with this has to do with a note in here that I already knew I wouldn’t like.

I drank this straight a long time ago. Apparently I liked it a lot. The dry smell and that gave my Mom migraines though so I could only drink it at work. I remember it being lemony with a floral finish… but it’s been years since I’ve had it so my memory could be faulty.

Yeah, I mean, I can see why someone would like it. The citrus and jasmine pair well together, and I appreciate that they didn’t load this up with tons of artificial flavours and sweeteners. It’s kind of like what many of the teas in their collection used to be.

^ That. And yes, it like it for these reasons.
