Teh Gopek Slawi Loose Jasmine Tea 80 Gram (2.82 Oz) Green Paper Wrap (Pack of 2)

This tea is absolutely fantastic. It's description does not do it justice. It says that this is a green tea with Jasmine, but the taste nor the look of it have absolutely nothing to do with the typical Chinese jasmine green. The tea is dark and fragrant containing some stems among the leaves, however for some reason this does not translate into a harsh or astringent flavor, on the contrary the flavor is dark and mellow but with a lot of tanins, zing and character. But what makes this Tea stand apart is Jasmine flavor. Although the description says it is Jasmine, I assure you that it is not the jasmine flavor you are acustomed to. I think it is some local variety which is nothing I have ever smelled or tasted before. I would have trouble describing what it is, concepts that come to mind are dark smoky jungle fruit, toasted plums and apricots, spiced incense and dried old wood. Drinking this tea is an experience.
