Zelený čaj jasmínový

The jasmine scent hits you the second you open the bag, which makes sense since they actually lay fresh petals in front of the fans while drying. I've been brewing it around 175 degrees and the flavor stays smooth without any bitterness.

I was skeptical about how much jasmine you'd actually taste, but the whole leaf really does carry it. You can smell the floral note the second hot water hits the leaves, and it never turns bitter even when I forget and let it steep too long.

The drying method really works—each sip carries that soft jasmine perfume without any bitterness, and I've noticed my afternoon cup feels lighter on my stomach than other greens I've tried. The petals must be doing something right because the fragrance lingers in the empty mug for a good while after
