Jasmine #12

"This tea is hard to do wrong. It's delicious on its own (no sweetening needed), and also a great tea to mix. It went very nicely with the citron green and silver needle white tea. The aroma turned several heads when I brewed some at work :)"

"Reminds me of my favourite Chinese/Thai restaurant teas, only better. Slight hint of floral (jasmine), smooth, light. Advice: Use a tetsubin to brew this, it comes out perfect every time if you do and is hard to control the bitterness otherwise. Mine: 1/2 TBS per 8oz. Heat water to just under boiling. Rinse tetsubin with hot water, dump, then add the infuser with tea in it, and dump your water over it. Immediately cover and set timer for 4 minutes. Remove promptly and serve. Hint: Do not leave tea sitting in tetsubin too long, these can rust even when treated. They do, however, hold heat for a while which means warm tea for your next cup!"

"It's really cool watching the pearls open. Makes a really good cup of tea too."

"One of my favorites, light jasmine flavor rounds out the oolong nicely. This is a stable in my cabinet."

"I grew up in Fujian province where this tea is grown and Jasmine #12 tastes exactly like the Jasmine tea in that area. It is very authentic and not overpowering."

"A cup of tea that's just supremely relaxing and tasty. I will be buying more."
