I was kindly sent this tea to review.
I made two separate cups one steeped at 3 minutes and the other for only 2 minutes.
The 3 minute steep was strong and jasmine heavy with a syrupy nectar taste and feel to it. I was reminded of Honeysuckle because it was very sweet. It’s a delicious jasmine tea one of the best I’ve ever had. It’s very elegant and I could see this being a good candidate to serve at a tea party.
The two minute steep cup was very light in flavor and a bit too light for my taste. It tastes sweet with a slight honeysuckle flavor. It’s still pleasant but it’s lacking the depth of the prior steep and I would guess that my perfect steep time would be around 2 and 1/2 minutes. Somewhere in between the two cups. I realized I brewed this in the teapot that doesn’t pour very evenly and I forgot to stir it before pouring. When steeped right the jasmine in this tea comes across as fresh jasmine flowers as opposed to floral perfume.
