YUM! I love jasmine teas but I’d also love to control the jasmine/tea ratio. Definitely putting this in my shopping cart. Thanks for bringing it to my attention:)
It’s funny how its hit or miss with Jasmine. . . it goes against the senses for me. . .beautiful smell. . .but my brain tells me I shouldn’t be drinking something that smells like potpourri. . .i’ve actually held my nose as I drank a cup once, and it worked! Try it :-p
@EvaPeva- I used to think the very same thing. I remember making my 1st loose leaf purchase and exclaiming “I do not want anything rose… I don’t want do drink my grandma’s perfume.” but now I love jasmine and rose teas- I’m seeing jasmine flavored matcha in my future…=P
Well worded Cofftea. . . and yet I must admit i’m optimistic with every cup. . as a true tea drinker should be! I am still exploring the whole Jasmine field and find that the less tea I use, the better I can tolerate it. Rose is nice. . . .don’t mind rose at all. . . I think the problem was that I started out with VERY strong jasmine teas that shooed me away somewhat. . . . .any recommendations on some lite ones?
I agree! That’s why I try nearly anything! LOL
Eva – I will go back thru some of my notes…there are some really good Jasmines I have tried in the last month or two…will report back soon, I hope

tee hee! No worries, not every taste is for everybody. I’m sure, for myself, there will be a tea out there that will turn my thinking around and I’ll be enjoying white tea! Cheers!
