Ummmmm Jasmine Pearls!!! :-D These little beautys I received from Rabs (Thank you!) and they are a wonderful treat. No wait, they’re amazing! I noticed that the little pearls have some “fuzzy” white leaves wrapped in there, which I have never seen in a Jasmine Pearl before so because of that I knew right away this was going to be a great experience. I steeped my little treasures and watched them unfurl and then smelled they delicate (yet stong) aroma. My first sip was pure floral silk rolling around on my tongue, very smooth and nicely scented/flavored with jasmine! These pearls I believe have just beat Teavana’s Jasmine Pearls. I will have to test them side by side to see for sure, but I am almost positive!

Bio
I am a tea enthusiast who is always looking to try a new tea, but my all time favorite is jasmine pearls…or anything with jasmine in it really. I also am a sushi fanatic and simply can’t live without it. Outside of my fanatasy world of all things tea and sushi I am an executive assistant, mother of 2 and personal taxi/maid and chef service for my little family.
But back to the tea!
I love Jasmine Pearls, just about any White Tea and then we have Pu-erh coming in last as my top three.
However, I still enjoy a good Earl Grey tea, the more bergamot the better! I have a fond place in my heart for Matcha, especially iced Matcha Lattes. Flavored green teas are always fun, but I tend to stay away from the overly grassy tasting ones… they always remind me of a wheatgrass shot!
It takes a special black tea to really win me over, for me I find that they all taste too much alike or tend to be too bitter at times; I think I am more so bored with them.
Oolongs are fairly new to me and I am finding that these are really good and they will probably end up making it as one of my top contenders!
Pu-erh I have yet to try; I am very curious, but a bit scared to try it… something about being aged in a cave just frightens me a bit, but I would like to try one in the very near future :-) Update – I have tried a few pu-erhs and I can’t get enough of them! While they are definitely an acquired taste they are lovely! This has now taken over rooibos in my top 3 teas of choice!
