Tummy Tamers usually scare me…they usually taste medicine-E. This smells like Lemon, Mint, and Catnip…still kind of scared…
It’s a medium brown/green color…still sort of scared…
Well…
Not so scary after sipping…
It’s minty, somewhat herbal-esque, a little fruity, lemony, green-tea-like. It’s not bad…I don’t think I would purchase it, but it’s not scary :)
Preparation
Welp! I can’t find a description for this tea from the Ktea website…not sure if they discontinued it or what but…here-goes…
It’s lighter in color than I thought it would be…a light brown. It smells smoky…like a campfire. Reminds me of a Lapsang Souchong but a little more mild…in scent and taste.
Couldn’t find this on their website so I am not sure if they sell it anymore…anyhow it’s interesting flavor tries to trick me! You see…when I first sipped it I thought I felt a bitterness come on but it quickly evened out. It ended up being a somewhat average strength and even taste. It took about 4 and a half minutes to unwind the cake…once it did it was SUPER dark! Comparable to the color of coffee.
Preparation
It’s a black but it looked and tasted like a green. Not bad but not what I was looking for either. Strong aftertaste too
I’m still experimenting with the 1st Flushes…they are usually quite bitter :-/
this one wasn’t until I oversteeped the 2nd infusion – and that was because I totally forgot about it! Ek!
hahaa, hate when that happens, its almost a fear sometimes to drink oversteeped strong teas. . .
Yup! Jasmine. Plain and simple. Not much to really say about it. It’s pretty average. I’m not a huge Jasmine fan but I guess it’s pretty standard as far as Jasmines go.
YUM! I love jasmine teas but I’d also love to control the jasmine/tea ratio. Definitely putting this in my shopping cart. Thanks for bringing it to my attention:)
I think you will really like this then! It sure is Jasmine-E lol
What was your jasmine/water ratio?
8-ounce cup…1 T Loose Leaf
It’s funny how its hit or miss with Jasmine. . . it goes against the senses for me. . .beautiful smell. . .but my brain tells me I shouldn’t be drinking something that smells like potpourri. . .i’ve actually held my nose as I drank a cup once, and it worked! Try it :-p
I totally ‘get what your saying’ EvaPeva! :P
@EvaPeva- I used to think the very same thing. I remember making my 1st loose leaf purchase and exclaiming “I do not want anything rose… I don’t want do drink my grandma’s perfume.” but now I love jasmine and rose teas- I’m seeing jasmine flavored matcha in my future…=P
Well worded Cofftea. . . and yet I must admit i’m optimistic with every cup. . as a true tea drinker should be! I am still exploring the whole Jasmine field and find that the less tea I use, the better I can tolerate it. Rose is nice. . . .don’t mind rose at all. . . I think the problem was that I started out with VERY strong jasmine teas that shooed me away somewhat. . . . .any recommendations on some lite ones?
I agree! That’s why I try nearly anything! LOL
Eva – I will go back thru some of my notes…there are some really good Jasmines I have tried in the last month or two…will report back soon, I hope
Thanks Bliss :)

perfect…the fact that its mixed with Green will be perfect :)
It seems I have trouble with the aftertaste more than anything…lol…
Don’t be knockin’ the jasmine, I love that jasmine! :-)
no knockin girl!! only inquiring on some smoother teas from the tea world…Cheers :)
tee hee! No worries, not every taste is for everybody. I’m sure, for myself, there will be a tea out there that will turn my thinking around and I’ll be enjoying white tea! Cheers!
Oh no! No knockin’ at all! Just a little Jasmine Jabber between friends! LOL
Lychees – yeah. Lychees! I have a love/hate relationship with them. I want to love them but have had mixed experiences with them. I had a raw-stand alone Lychee once and it tasted like paint thinner.
Anyhow…this tea is Nutty and Lychee-esque. Not much Black tea flavor. Not too sure about it…
It does smell fruity but it also tastes a little like glue…it’s that darned Lychee I tell you!
I’ll tinker with this one again some day…
TASTES LIKE GLUE???
The Lychees…yes…to me…Lychees has like a Glue or Paint Thinner taste to it…lol…not sure why!
I’ve never had a lychee… but I have a lychee sake that I ADORE. I could drink that ALL DAY LONG. But I don’t. For obvious reasons. :-)
I love lychee tea…I have two different types and enjoy them on occasion. When you speak about paint thinner flavour…sometimes I find some Earl Grey tea so strong that it is almost toxic “paint thinner” taste/aroma…
Ha, I just glanced at my cat and she gave me a *look*—as in don’t even think about steeping my catnip. :)
