I really love how this tea smells. The aroma of green tea with the smell of sweet Jasmine. Pay attention when you brew this one it can get bitter if left longer then 3 minutes (I go about 2 minutes). Its a really sharp tea that docent need any additives. But if you don't like your teas bitter I don't recommend this cup.
I enjoyed this in a Coffee shop and bought some leaves to take home for a night brew. Its a very calming tea that settles well in the stomach.
Great value from Heine Brothers' Coffee in Louisville KY. you can visit the website or visit the Cafe.

A very bold, strong-flavored Jasmine that is easy to oversteep.
Thank you to RosaMoon for this one, picked up in a shop in Louisville, KY.
Dry leaf is quite aromatic, and unusually dark in color...looks almost as dark as black tea.
Aromatic but not overwhelming. The base tea's character comes through and it reminds me a little bit of chun mee. Strong jasmine aroma, but less perfumey and more fruity, and also with strong cinnamon notes.
Flavor is extremely strong, bold, with both bitterness and sourness. Crisp mouthfeel, but a bit harsh.
I recommend using less leaf than you normally would, and only a very brief initial steeping (1 minute) -- also be careful with temperature. This is one of the strongest-flavored jasmines I've tried, to the point that it is very easy to make it too bitter.
If not brewed too strongly though, it is pleasant. Good value because the leaf stretches so far.
