mrs.stenhouse12 drank Yunnan White Jasmine by Verdant Tea

1186 tasting notes

Having a cup of this before bed with the guy after a lovely 10.3km run in misty rain after work :) we both enjoy the rain, so it was great! This tea is also great, I haven’t had it in a long time. This batch is definitely quite fruity, with strawberry and almost a peach note to me. Smooth mouthfeel, soft, sweet jasmine tea. And I’m so relaxed and sleepy I doubt the caffeine will bug me tonight lol. Still one of the greats for jasmine tea IMO. See previous notes!

Also – LOL, I read a note I wrote on this 3 yrs ago and I had it while watching a show on Yunnan, I am pretty sure that same show was on tonight and it’s what made the bf request this tea tonight haha! And I even craved a Yunnan Black tea at first but too much caffeine so I decided to have a cup of this with him. Exact same thought process lol, what are the chances?

Hello all, I am an electrical engineer (read:NERD :D), who is a bit obsessed with tea! I discovered loose tea in 2011, DAVIDsTEA in 2012 and it took off from there. I really started drinking/enjoying tea because it was excellent to take to class in the morning and because I can’t handle coffee! (unless it’s a really good cappuccino or latte, or decent decaf haha)

I enjoy a variety of teas – current favorites being ripe and raw pu’erhs, chinese black teas and herbal/green rooibos blends. I also enjoy white, green, and oolong teas, although I tend to drink them more in the warmer months. I have also tried matcha and guayusa, but I don’t drink them too often as I am a bit sensitive to caffeine. As a result I don’t drink black teas as often as I used to, but in moderation I can still enjoy a wide variety of teas.

Oh, and I have a severe peanut allergy and try to avoid most other nuts, just to be safe. Limits my tea choices a bit, but that’s ok. However I have tried almonds and found out I can eat them, so I have been trying a few teas with them in them.
