As much as I love Jasmine teas, I have to admit that I sometimes have a hard time telling the difference between Jasmine pearl teas. The twisted mini-soccer balls that spring out into long, thin fingers of tea fascinate me so much that I think I drink the tea too quickly in order to pour another pot and watch it again. As with other tightly wound teas, I used less tea in the pot than other loose teas, since these expand to fill nearly any space. I’m not sure that was necessary with this tea though since the effect was quite light and left me hoping for some more tea in my tea. I tried again and the tea improved with a bit longer steeping time. The aroma is of light white jasmine flowers. The scent isn’t strong; it’s more like catching a waft of jasmine on a walk past someone’s yard, rather than standing in front of a jasmine plant. It’s very pleasant, though for people who are in the mood to have their senses enveloped rather than caressed, something else would do better. What this tea does well is retain the jasmine beyond the scent and into the flavor as well. Other teas pull a bait and switch, drawing me in with delectable scents only to taste like slightly tinted water. Here, while the jasmine is light, it’s there, fragrant and green, leaving a pleasant feeling afterward.
