Review of Jasmine Mao Feng

Mediocre | Fair | Overpriced |
Very strongly aromatic...aroma is sweet, very floral but less perfumey than some Jasmines. There's almost a hint of wintergreen in the aroma. It's also fairly vegetal and a bit fishy. The aroma strikes me as a bit strange and has some unpleasant characteristics to it.
Very smooth flavor, sweet, with absolutely no bitterness, but there is a hint of sourness that I could do without.
A very delicate tea, balanced, but strange. There's something in the aroma that I don't like. I'd prefer more inexpensive Jasmines...I also like tea that has more kick to it.
