Sipdown! (9 | 9)
So I have this gallon Ziploc bag of Teavivre samples from a previous order, and I figured it was time to start working through them. There’s two samples of each tea, so if I have one every day I’ll get a sipdown every other day. Huzzah!
This is tasty, as their jasmine teas always are. I’m not sure where this one falls in terms of price, but it’s definitely not as delicious as their jasmine pearl teas. The jasmine is nice enough, sweet and lush with a nice hint of creaminess. But I feel like the base tea isn’t giving me much? It’s sort of just slightly grassy and mineral, and there’s some astringency even though I steeped it for just two minutes.
Still a pleasant and relaxing tea this evening, it just doesn’t measure up to a lot of Teavivre’s other jasmine teas that I’ve tried in the past.
Flavors: Astringent, Creamy, Dry Grass, Floral, Jasmine, Mineral, Peach, Sweet
I only drink this one with food where the finer stuff doesn’t get as much chance to shine. I am partial to the Premium Jasmine Dragon Pearls, even prefer them to the more expensive downy dragon pearls.
