Jasmine Tea / Thé du Jasmin

I enjoyed the tea for quite a while, however, recently I was making a cup and I found a piece of hair in it. Now I thought it was my hair, it was almost white and my hair is very blonde. So I pick it out and it’s extremely long, I have shoulder length hair. So I scrunch my nose but decide I’ll just pick it out and move on with my life because I’m poor and this was a lot of tea to throw away for a piece of hair.

When I pulled all of it out at the end was a clump of scalp. I’m not buying from this brand again and I suggest you all to be very careful if you decide to get this.

Compared to other floral teas, I believe jasmine is one of the bitterest, but nothing unpleasant of course. Jasmine was one of the first teas that I stated to drink and still continue to drink it. It is bitter at first swig, which off put some people if they are not into bitter tastes, but there is a lovely woodsy and floral at the same time.

This tea should probably be considered a jasmine tea rather than a green tea. The scent (strong jasmine) is quite true to the flavor of the finished brew. The color is pale yellow.

The way I brew it – 175 for a bit over a minute – it is very smooth and sweet, with only the tiniest hint of bitterness that tickles the tongue. The hot tea is excellent without any additives, so it’s a nice tea to drink throughout the day (assuming that the caffeine doesn’t bother you). It remains pleasant and floral as it cools and makes a great iced tea – maybe add a smidge of cane sugar.

This tea stands up pretty well to second steepings, but I do recommend adding another pinch of leaves at subsequent steepings. Then again, I recommend doing that for most teas.

If you want a nice jasmine tea for daily use or iced tea, but you don’t want to break the bank, I really don’t think this one can be beat.

Sweet floral taste, very good flavor for the price. It’s found at my favorite Asian Grorcery store. I always keep it in stock if I can. Also makes a very good iced tea.

It is a common type of jasmin tea found in many stores. When it is steeped, Its jasmin parfum is stronger than the flavor of the green tea. I didn’t find it delicate. But if you are doing iced tea, it is fine.
