Luomu Silk Dragon -jasmiinitee

I've been drinking jasmine tea for years and the flower scent here actually lingers instead of vanishing after one steep. You can taste that it's a real green tea base underneath, not just perfume. Second steeping held up surprisingly well too.

The spring-plucked green tea base is what won me over — you can actually taste the leaves under the jasmine instead of just perfume. I've been brewing it around 175°F and it stays smooth with zero bitterness on the second steep.

I wasn't expecting much from a jasmine green tea, but the spring-plucked leaves give it a body that holds up to a second and third steep. There's real depth under the floral note instead of that perfumey taste cheaper ones have.
