63 Tasting Notes
A terrific tea with a distinct jasmine scent and taste. It is a delight to the senses. Using a modified recommendation of Mary Lou and Robert Heiss in the Tea Enthusiast’s Handbook I used 11 pearls for a 6 ounce cup, steeped for 2 min 15 seconds, and loved the result. This is my favorite tea.
Preparation
As I have become more familiar with my steeping preferences for this tea, I have become more and more impressed with it. It has a complex floral, earthy, and mellow flavor which is becoming addictive to me. I took this to a potluck last night, and quite a number of folks tried it, and liked it. I am increasing my rating of this tea.
Preparation
I enjoyed this tea for its color and smoothness. It seemed very “mellow”, had a slight fish scale aroma to start, and first steeping had a bit of astringency at the end. Second steeping lost the astringency. Deep color, pleasant tea shared with two friends and all of us liked it.
