Jasmine Yin Hao (meaning ‘Silver Tip’) is a deeply perfumy green tea from the Fujian province of China. Very layered and lingering floral aroma. Soft, full-bodied and sweet flavor with a slight dryness in the finish. Our Jasmine Yin Hao grade is among the highest for green jasmine teas. This jasmine green tea has been infused with jasmine many times over to create a truly unforgettable experience.
Famous detective Sherlock Holmes is known for his forays into the experimental, but did you know that his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, was just as inquisitive? After hearing about the poisonous plant Carolina jasmine, also known as gelsemium, he decided to test the effects on himself, taking ever greater doses until he could no longer handle the symptoms. If this story makes you a little squeamish though, have no fear. In classic mystery novel form, gelsemium is an impostor plant, bearing no true relation to jasmine at all! Jasmine tea only uses real jasmine, typically Jasminum sambac.

I read some of the other reviews of this tea and I think maybe I prepared it wrong. For the first couple of sips it was really bitter but then it mellowed out and the Jasmine was really prominent and both the scent and the taste was delightful. It was a very smooth clean taste to me unlike the earthiness of some of the blacks and oolongs I’ve tried. The pack said 3-5 minutes at 195, I had to estimate the temp by bringing it to boiling and waiting a minute and steeped for 4 mins. I’ll try resteeping (since someone said it resteeps really well) and for less time, see if that takes out the early bitterness.
The dry tea leaves smell sublime, the steeping tea smells amazing, and a deceptively clear beverage (at Adagio’s recommended steeping time) yields a clear, smooth jasmine flavor. Additional infusions progressively tone the jasmine down and let the green shine through.
This is definitely one you want to filter. Leaves left in the cup, it becomes unbearably floral and approaching soapy near the leaves.
