Ive been dreading writing a note for this one, since its the rare S&V tea that just isnt good. This sounded like a really nice combination of flavors. I seemed to have missed that the base of the tea was green and not black. It doesnt seem to be mentioned on the website or the pouch. When fresher, the leaves distinctly had the fragrance of all these lovely elements: orange, vanilla, jasmine. The flavor was bubblegum. But now that the blend is getting older, it definitely smells and tastes like only BUBBLEGUM. The cup cools and the more Im tasting bubblegum. And then the green tea is also getting a little bitter. But the bubblegum is so odd and not really what I wanted from this one. Second steep: more bubblegum. I think I have learned that some orange flavoring tastes like bubblegum, so I think that is the problem here. Cant win them all. So the key with this one is to drink it quickly.Steep #1 // 1 1/3 teaspoons for a full mug // 40 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steepSteep #2 // 32 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
I'm not typically a jasmine person due to it sometimes just being too powerful, however this blend is what I would call perfectly balanced. I can taste each component nicely. Nothing is too overpowering in my opinion. The vanilla makes for a slightly creamy cup; while the orange adds a citrusy brightness. A very enjoyable cup for the afternoon!
Jasmine tea is a favorite of mine with its relaxing, heady fragrance. However, the addition of orange and vanilla to the tea adds complementary bright notes that make it sparkle. The blend is mellow and no one flavor or scent is overpowering. If you love jasmine tea but are searching for a variation, try this!
