In researching and reviewing this tea I learned that Jasmine tea pairs well with Chinese Dim Sum foods such as pot stickers and dumplings, I am going to give that a try the next time I go to a Chinese restaurant.
The jasmine flower aroma came though strongly with the dry leaves but when they were infused, more traditional green tea undertones were presented. You could definitely taste the jasmine in the tea, but the floral notes were kind of flat and had an almost artificial feel to them. It was richer then the average green tea but I had hoped for a fresher authentic jasmine feel. There were some astringent undertones with a little bitterness. It was somewhat refreshing so I decided to try it iced. Unfortunately, when cold, the artificial taste became more pronounced and the tea became bitter - don’t try this. The tea is okay hot, but there are better jasmine green teas out there.
One interesting note: I found that jasmine tea can stay fresh up to three years because of scenting process.
