I also tried this tea today. A very good and even blend of black and green tea with a hint of jasmine at the end. The aroma of the dried leaves is very plain, with a hint of fruity sweetness. The aroma of the brewed tea is fruity and sweet again. The blend of teas makes for a smooth and very good brew. The jasmine only comes in at the end of the tea as a slight afterthought.
Very good. Highly recommended.

The name alone is enough to make me interested. :)
How do you brew a black-green blend? They baffle me!
Usually go for median time, hot water, not quite boiling, just before boiling for a time that falls in between the times needed for the two.
I have a blend that is mostly black with some green in. I’ve tried both brewing it like I would a green and with boiling water like I would a black, and I honestly can’t tell the two apart. Mine probably has less than a fourth green leaves in it though, so it’s possible that the black tea is effectively masking any misfortune the green leaves suffer. I think the ‘correct’ way to do it is how Cinoi just said. I used to do that too in the beginning with this blend, but I’ve grown lazy and forgetful since.
