Why, yes, I did recently review another jasmine green tea! But as I’ve said many times, I love jasmine; so much so that I typically have a tea with jasmine in it in some form or another on a daily basis. And while the previously reviewed jasmine tea does share some common characteristics with this jasmine tea, they also each possess qualities that make them unique.
This jasmine tea from Teaflection is a semi-fermented green tea – perhaps a pouchong? – which provides a light body and a slightly sharp quality to the flavor. The jasmine provides an elegantly sweet, fresh-tasting floral essence. These flavors unite so poetically in the teacup, and rest upon the palate, creating a sensation that is deliciously balanced and restorative.
Teaflection describes their Jasmine with Flowers as
Jasmine with Flowers tea is delicately flavored by the addition of ivory jasmine flowers to the semi-fermented tea.
A sweet aroma accompanies this tea’s floral notes, which are reminiscent of gardenias. The end result is a very bright, refreshing cup.
The following health benefits may accompany consumption of Flowery Jasmine Tea:
· Lowered cholesterol
· Promotion of heart health
· Promotion of healthy skin, teeth, and bones
This tea has a slight astringency to it that leaves the palate feeling clean and refreshed as you drink. And, while it is absolutely delicious served hot – I really fell in love with this tea as an iced tea with just a little bit of agave nectar drizzled into it, and a thin slice of lemon. It is an incredibly invigorating beverage that will put a little skip in your step and rejuvenate your spirit.

"Dear Tea Guru, Hi, my name is Travis and I do some of the promotions for Tipu’s Chai. To answer your question, yes, we do use the same spices in our instant chai tea as we do in our slow brewed chai. The reason for this is the very same one that you mentioned. When you discover the perfect chai flavor, why change it? Thanks for your..."

"Hector: I agree, you do NOT need to strain their instant chai, however this is a review of their SLOW BREW chai, which does require straining as the spices are not as refined in the slow brew mix

"Tea Guru, Straining Tipu’s isn’t necessarily necessary. I leave the instant mix in and just don’t drink the settled stuff on the bottom (or sometimes I do depending on the “kick” I’m seeking). Either way, it’s a great cup of chai!"

"Dear Tea Guru, I very much appreciate your comments and am very happy you like our slow brew chai mix. I just wanted to make sure that its clear that the Assam tea is organic, but the spices are not certified organic. They are fresh and non radiated however. I hope that you continue to enjoy a good cuppa chai! regards, Bipin Patel,..."
