Another tea from the subscription box (I finally got the blog review written up!) that is fast becoming my favourite. I love love love jasmine green tea, but jasmine white tea is even better. The jasmine smells very very fresh and the white tea adds a slightly nutty sweetness that goes with the jasmine even better than the usual slightly grassy green tea flavour.
The pearls are much smaller than I expected however. Once they unfurled I noticed the leaves were not in great shape. Some were quite badly damaged and others were yellow, black or brown in places at the edges, like the leaves should have been discarded rather than made into pearls.
It didn’t impact flavour as far as I can tell.
3 pearls, 80c water, 3 mins. I could have left it for longer.

I agree, jasmine complements the delicate flavor of white tea better than green. I feel like white tea allows the jasmine flavor to really shine through. My favorite is Yunnan White Jasmine from Verdant Tea. They also have a pretty nice jasmine scented black tea.
Yes! I also find jasmine whites to be amazing, and love Verdant’s yunnan white jasmine.
Thanks for the recommendation! Just checked and they have international shipping, so I’ll add it to my list of teas to buy :)
