Silk Dragon Jasmine

Name:  Silk Dragon Jasmine


Brand:  David's Tea


Primary Type:  Green


Dry Scent:  Heavenly scent of jasmine flowers overlying the slightly grassy aroma of fine green tea.  Not perfumey, just the right blend of scents for a jasmine tea.


Steeping Time:  3 min  (be careful, oversteeped jasmine tea is almost the worst thing on the planet.  Incredibly bitter and so strongly perfumed that it is almost headache-inducing)


Steeped Flavour:  Perfect, delicate balance between the green, slightly grassy taste of the green tea, with its buttery undertones, and the topnotes of sweet, fragrant jasmine.  The jasmine is most noticeable in the scent as you bring the cup up to sip the tea, but it's also the last thing to linger in the mouth after the tea is done.


Food/Drink Pairings:  This pairs nicely with asian dishes, especially sushi or wonton soup - lighter flavours that won't overpower the delicate nature of the tea.  It would also be beautiful iced as the base for a cocktail or turned into a syrup and used instead of the simple syrup in a mojito.


Rating out of Six Tails:
