This is my first jasmine tea. When I opened the bag, I found the smell of the dry leaves not very appealing. I don’t know why but in my mind jasmine smelt totally different from this. I remember having jasmine green tea at a restaurant a few years ago and maybe my memories got messed up.
But now that I have had this tea several times, I find that it is very light and soothing. Brewing this gong fu style seems to be the best way to enjoy this as it tastes better when infused for a very short amount of time. It also holds up very well for several infusions (at least 5 in my experience).
