280 Tasting Notes
I’ve had a Jasmine Green tea before but never a Jasmine Oolong. First off, I love the scent. It smells so good! And the first steep tastes like it smells and is delicious with a little sweetener. I was in Jasmine Tea Heaven. However, the flavor wasn’t the same for the 2nd and 3rd steepings. I really liked trying this tea, but I wouldn’t repurchase since the flavor doesn’t last long enough to justify the price. I’ll buy cheap but good Bigelow Green Tea to get my Jasmine Tea fix. On to the next!
Flavors: Jasmine
Preparation
Nothing special. Tastes like almost any other cinnamon tea from Teavana. I do like that I can drink it without sweetener. I used to add ridiculous amounts of sugar to my tea but the last couple years have learned to enjoy it without sugar. i thought it would taste similar to the pumpkin spice brûlée because they smelled kind of similar but it doesn’t. I was kind of bummed out because the pumpkin one is my favorite!
It is very pricey for what it is. Almost $13 for 2 oz. Save your money and get something else!!
Flavors: Cinnamon
Preparation
I get frustrated with Teavana because it seems like every tea has hibiscus and lemongrass. And artificial flavoring. This one is decent…I can taste a little bit of the strawberry and grapefruit. It’s not bitter at all but I’m a grapefruit lover. I eat a ton when they are in season. I get two good steeps out of it before it tastes like the watery strawberry lemonade tea they have. I wish there was more actual tea in it. Teavana tends to be stingy with the actual tea in their blends.
Preparation
I’m still a tea novice. This is my first pure tea from Teavana. I was so excited because it’s from Korea and I’ve never tried anything from Korea. It has very strong spinach notes. I don’t like that. But something in the aftertaste is quite nice. But the spinach note brings it way down for me.
Flavors: Seaweed, Spinach
Preparation
I really like this one. You have to use a lot and it doesn’t do well with resteeps. It tastes a bit sweet and I pick up grapefruit notes from it. I really do love it…but it’s pretty expensive and there is barely and tea in it.
Flavors: Grapefruit
