shalamiope drank Dragon Pearl Jasmine Supreme by Red Blossom Tea Company

3 tasting notes

I find this a lovely anytime tea. The jasmine is very forward initially, and the tea flavor starts very light but soon mellows into a smooth sipping tea with soft tannin astringency. To me, the second steeping is the best as there is a nice balance in jasmine and tea flavors. Re-steeps well about 3 times before the jasmine fades significantly and a few slight bitter notes start to creep in, but note I use a longer than suggested steep time because I like the heft in tea flavors I get.

Professional dilettante? I admit to slight snobbery for nearly all of my beverage choices.

I’m a lazy foodie. I love to read. I used to work with nuts in the land of fruits and nuts, but I got crazy and went to grad school (again) – in a different state. Now I work towards making your tasty starchy foods better for you than they were. I hate dusting. I tend to smile a lot. I cheer for the Purdue Boilermakers, Indianapolis Colts, NASCAR’s Ryan Newman, and whoever is playing against the Yankee’s or any team from L.A. There’s a lot of music I’ll listen to, but most of the time I’m not paying attention. I am a cat person, but I like dogs too. I am not a morning person. I have beaten the “World’s Largest Drum”. My sense of humor is a little whacked, but it works for me.
