I'm very anxious to review this tea, and am honoured to have
won. Thank you Twinings Tea UK for this
free gift!
Leaf Quality:
The tea came in a decorative box with 15 sachets of Jasmine
Pearls. When I opened the inner bag containing the tea, I
immediately smelled the wonderful floral aroma of Jasmine. The
leaves had been individually rolled into minute spheres, with green
leaves and silvery buds showing. The leaves were marbled, each one
having its own unique pattern. They were as beautiful as they
smelled. Underneath the pleasant Jasmine aroma, I could smell a
faint hint of the green tea. The Brewed Leaves unfurled inside the
sachet and still smelled floral enough for another brewing.

Brewed Tea:
For the first steeping, I brewed the tea in the sachets. The color
of the liquor was a light yellow-green. The only detectable smell
was that of Jasmine. The first sip brought notes of sweet nectar
and orchids. This was a very floral tea indeed! Very
delicate.
For the second steeping, I brewed the tea in a Gaiwan. The
leaves unfurled more this time. The tea retained all the same
floral notes as the first steeping, but was sweeter. It could have
easily been brewed for a third time.
This tea was marvelous. Very fragrant, and very floral. I'm
really satisfied with the tea I won. I'll have to enter more
competitions, and order more of this tea. Again, Thank you Twinings
Tea UK!
