Definitely…interesting.
Unfortunately I’m drinking the bagged version, not loose leaf. And I’m thinking that is playing a big factor in the experience. I get a distinct, artificial aroma and flavor from this one. I’m thinking it’s coming from the plastic the tea bag was individually wrapped in, but I can’t be sure.
I’m not really getting any of the jasmine, just a hint of sweetness followed by the classic green vegetal flavor. I’m getting a ting of bitterness, but I think that’s just my feeling towards greens and the fact that my water might have been a little on the hot side. Even with the whole “artificial” aspect of the tea, it’s still somewhat pleasing. I think in some weird way it reminds me of my grandparents or something (try to take that in the least weird way possible). It just kinda makes me think of their house, which, is not necessarily a flavor I want everyday but a nice reminder every now and then.

I have the loose leaf, and I think it tastes very good! There are jasmine petals in there. Its a pretty flavor and fairly strong as well. I’d recommend the loose leaf :)
I agree, some teas are just better that way.
ALL teas are better in loose leaf.
Now that I’ve let it sit for a while (it’s cold) it seems to have cut some of that plasticy-artificial flavor. But it could just be that I’m not accustomed to jasmine teas since i haven’t had many in the past…
