Peachberry Jasmine Sutra

Name:  Peachberry Jasmine Sutra


Brand: Teavana


Primary Type:  Green


Dry Scent:  This opens with strawberry sweetness, with an undertone of peaches.  Very warm and summery.  I don't smell any of the jasmine in this dry, but it definitely opens up as soon as the water is poured over it


Steeping Time:  2-3 min


Steeped Flavour:  The strongest flavour in this is actually hibiscus, tart and fruity, but the jasmine hovers overtop, and you can taste it on your breath as you drink.  The strawberries and peaches do finally come into play, lingering on the tongue after the tea has been swallowed.  A very smooth tea, refreshing and easy to drink, but I do wish there was a little less hibiscus and a little more strawberry.  Actually, the tartness of the hibiscus brings to mind more rhubarb than berry.


Food/Drink Pairings:  This is a nice picnic or teatime tea, and would go well with fruity desserts, a crumble or a pie.  It would be nice iced as well, or served with ice cream.


Rating out of Six Tails:
4/6
