Sipdown (2220)!
I find this to be a very, very pleasant cup for a grocery store pyramid sachet. However, I do think the name and packaging are pretty misleading. Unless you look closely at the ingredients list, I bet most people would imagine to to be a very simple and classic jasmine green tea – maybe a little bit more floral because of the lotus. It’s actually a pretty busy blend though and, most importantly, it’s very fruity!!
I love the fruit notes that are present, though! It’s more light to medium bodied and pretty lush and round on the palate with sweet notes of ripe orchard fruits. Jasmine, too. That’s the secondary flavour, and the clean floral note is a very nice way to close out the sip. Gentle, sophisticated and not overly perfumed. Personally, I would take this over a boring bagged grocery store jasmine any day of the week. However, if you want mostly jasmine I think this will leave you a little disappointed…
