67 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5Alex Zorach (1453 reviews) on May. 13th, 2014
A jasmine tea with a bold green tea flavor and relatively subtle jasmine fragrance. Very different in character from most jasmine teas, but enjoyable.
Leaf is pretty finely broken, grayish green, and slightly curved, looking a lot like lower grades of chun mee.
The aroma of the brewed cup has only a modest jasmine presence; it's strongly fruity and also lightly smoky. Flavor is bold and strong, less up-front bitterness and more of a deep sort of bitterness that comes in the middle of the sip, slightly bitter aftertaste. More bitter than astringent...just enough astringency to impart a rich, full body.
I enjoyed this but I don't think it's a tea for everyone. If you like strong green teas with a smoky aroma, like chun mee and gunpowder, you might really enjoy this one. It's not delicate though, and not what I typically think of when I think of jasmine. The jasmine definitely takes a back burner to the base tea in this one.
