90 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5Alex Zorach (1453 reviews) on Mar. 28th, 2014
Outstanding. This was one of the most interesting Jasmine teas I've ever tried. I normally don't think of jasmine as being complex, but this one was multifaceted and I kept finding different qualities in it each time I sipped it.
The tea bag and dry leaf smell almost minty, light, fresh, and cooling.
Upon brewing, this cooling quality comes out: the cup has the usual jasmine aroma, slightly perfumey, and with slight minty tones. The base tea though has a very bold presence in the aroma. I think the base tea comes through more in this tea than in any other jasmine-scented tea I've tried.
The base tea is herbaceous and slightly bitter, smelling of leaves and vegetables, but there's also a very pleasant toastiness to it, especially in the finish.
Quite singular.
Strong flavor. Bare Tea recommends a 2 minute steeping, and I agree, I could maybe do an extra minute but otherwise I think it would be too strong. A great thing though is that this tea resteeps very well when the first infusion is brief. It's cold now, so I haven't tried brewing this as an iced tea, but I can also see it making a very good iced tea.
This tea has my top recommendation.
