Jasmine Pearl

The aroma of these pearls is intensely sweet with a heady jasmine scent. It’s like jasmine cotton candy!
The aroma is still decent in the brewed tea, which is a deep straw color. The flavor is unfortunately quite light, for the first steep. The pearls are just looking a little ragged, not really unfurled. The jasmine flavor is present but light. Still the tea is decently silky and lightly perfumed as well as lightly sweet. I am enjoying my cup, but I am a floral lover, and I’m finding myself wishing that the flavor was knocked up a notch. I will be doing a more steeps!
Seconds steep (add 30 seconds) is more jasmine-y and deeper in flavor overall. I thik the base tea is starting to come through.
Third steep (add 1 min): The jasmine flavor is much stronger, and now there’s a cooling evergreen sensation to the steeped liquid.
Fourth steep (+1 min): Little more than a pleasant vague jasmine scent and that silky, pine-y feeling on the tongue.

Pretty darned good, but I wish it had a little more flavor from both the jasmine and the base tea, though I really enjoyed the evergreen aspect, it reminded me of yabao for some reason.

Water: 12oz

Leaves: mini pearls

Steep: 2m

Aroma: Floral

Color: Pale almost clear

Taste: The packing of this tea was in a small plastic sachet, the downside to this is that a majority of the jasmine pearls were crushed during shipment. Besides that the aroma of this tea was great! Having the crushed pearls made brewing a more messy than expected. So i followed threw with brewing for 2m as stated of the packaging. The flavor was light, the aroma remained strong & present after the steeping process.

Thank you 3 Leaf Tea for this sample
