This is another of the generous samples sent along to me by Two Leaves and a Bud recently. Early on, I can say that I enjoy the fact that this has such a mild jasmine aroma. That’s because this isn’t a scented green, but a green with some jasmine petals in with it.
I brewed the tea related to the specifications on the package and I think it was too long. It said 5 minutes steeping (I did closer to 3 1/2 minutes) and I think it was still too long. There’s a weird after-taste that I’m not particularly fond of. Other than that, the tea itself is pretty light. I like that there is very little jasmine flavor… almost nonexistent, yet enough to be able to tell it’s there if you’re looking for it, I guess.
I’m not explaining this very well, am I?
In any case, I think if brewed a little shorter, this would taste better to me, but overall, it’s just sort of “meh” to me.

But you have to be coherent to be difficult. Unless you’re passed out somewhere impeding someone’s daily progress or sense of well being. :))
You made sense to me.
Haha, thanks, Azzrian. It can be difficult to be coherent sometimes!

I disagree with the steeping advice on almost every package in existence, including several loose tea sellers. Go with your gut.
