The grade of tea that has been sourced for this Jasmine scented tea ranks up against the former imperial teas of old China. With a touch of golden grassiness, silky layers of jasmine and a long, well balanced finish, we believe that this superb tea is truly “fit for a king”.

1 pyramid bag for 250mL water @82C. Drunk bare.
Oh. My. God.
My local teashop, Britannia Teas and Gifts, is a little low on jasmine right now, but they did have these little pyramid bags. (The owner had maybe 2tsp of my beloved Dragon Tears left and gave me those — yesss!) I needed jasmine. I really needed jasmine. I probably would have tried to eat dried petals our of a bride’s bouquet. Dunno what it is with me and jasmine tea, but when I want it, I want it bad.
I was a little dubious about the pyramid bags, because I’m a snob. But the leaves are long and twisty, and the aroma is strong. It’s a China green base, and a fairly grassy one — no broth or brine here. The balance of jasmine is freakin heavenly. I did oversteep the first infusion at 3 minutes — 2 would have been better — and got some soapiness from the flowers, but it was so good I didn’t care, just drinking it down til I could add some water. Second infusion at 3 minutes, 3rd at 3 min 30 seconds. Golden green liquor and a great jasmine hit each time. I think Dragon Tears are slightly better, but this Golden Dragon is very, very good. If you placed a cup of each in front of me, I’d have trouble telling which was which.
Good jasmine tea makes me feel relaxed and a bit goofy. I also find — and this is just my own observation, not in any way medical advice — it takes some edge off my arthritis pain. Maybe there’s something mysterious about the jasmine flower that medicine should look into. There’s a lot of bad jasmine tea out there; this is one of the good ones, I promise.
Success! 150F, 2 min. By paying closer attention to water temp and steep length, I did justice to this delicious tea. Genuine natural jasmine notes float in the nostrils while vegetal juciness fills the mouth, with both lingering afterwards.
It’s the white tea I’ll bet that’s helping you and the l-thianine. I’m not a doctor but the Organic White Jasmine Silver Needle that I got from Teao2 took away my psoriasis on my hands that I had for 15 years. It hasn’t come back for 10 years. I made poltices and I drank the tea. My skin changed in less than 2 weeks. So I think there are benefits.
Amazing, both of you!
