J is for… Jasmine Ginger Twist!
I didn’t want a super jasmine heavy day of J teas, but this seemed like an excuse to steep up this tea that I should latch onto – I think this blend would slip my mind otherwise since it’s all flavours that I don’t naturally gravitate towards. Plus it was a good twisted interpretation on a jasmine tea – pun intended.
I steeped my mug up light, and that let more jasmine come through and less ginger. The top of the sip was all delicate, sweet jasmine/fresh florals but the finish was peppery and ticklish warming ginger – not a favourite, but an interesting and well balanced combination of flavours that probably shouldn’t work together but kind of do. I sipped on my mug while making supper, and it was relaxing and tasty in that setting.
Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
