This Jasmine tea comes as pearls - tightly rolled pea size balls.  It has a very lovely Jasmine flavor.  I have tried a number of different Jasmine teas in the past and this one tasted a little different to me - the taste is more round and sligtly sweet.  It leaves a very pleasant taste in my mouse once I swallow. I like drinking it cold with lemon on hot days. It is probably not the traditional way to drink it, but it is very refreshing this way. There is no one world wide standard system for grading tea, the grading system used for this tea is called Cha Wu Grading and it ranges from D (lowest quality) to SS (highest quality).  This is the order from low to high: D, C, B, A, AA, S, SS.  I got the Grade A. This loose teas come in vacuum packed foil lined bag with a lock at the top (similar to coffee pack bags).  I use an electric kettle that lets me select the temperature and I use 90℃ (slight below boiling) and steep for several minutes. The resulting tea...

The taste of Oolong ranges hugely among various sub-varieties.  It can be sweet and fruity, or woody and thick with roasted aromas, or green and fresh, all depending on the horticulture and style of production. I got Tie Guan Yin of two variety Grade A and Grade B. There is no one world wide standard system for grading tea, the grading system used for this tea is called Cha Wu Grading and it ranges from D (lowest quality) to SS (highest quality).  This is the order from low to high: D, C, B, A, AA, S, SS. I like both teas but definitely can taste the difference between the two teas, which is especially pronounced when I drink the tea cold. Both teas feel very refreshing.   Grade A has a sweet flavor, no bitter after taste.  I thought it tasted similar to the teas in a Chinese restaurants, but a little less astringent.  After I swallow there is a pleasant after glow taste in my mouth.  Grade B had a unique flavor, I have not been exposed to it before. I...

I love being able to recycle the capsules and save money on using  my own coffee.  The capsules are a little had to use (to clear all grounds from the cover).  The coffee comes out a little weaker than the original capsules, but acceptable.  Overall, being able to recycle the capsule and using my own coffee overcomes the cons I listed.

I really like this variety pack includes Dark Chocolate Cherry & Sea Salt, Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter & Sea Salt, and Madagascar Vanilla Almond & Honey.  My favorite is Vanilla Almond and Honey, the flavor is subtle not too sweet.  I generally do not like Salt in bar, but again all flavors are subtle and the fact that it had salt did not make it salty.   These bars are similar to Kind bars but I like their flavor better.  They slightly less sweet and more intense in flavor.  The fact that they are gluten free (so everyone can enjoy them) is nice bonus.

I got all three flavors of Simply Sesame paste, so I can do a taste comparison.  The simply sasame pure roasted sesame is the bast for all three jars.  The paste is sweet, like a desert. The Pistachio sesame paste has a lot of Pistachio morsels and cardamom flavor is there but very light. It is noticeable but not overwhelming.  Vanilla with almond bits, has less nuts that pistachio sesame paste.  Vanilla flavor is light and pleasant.  I particularly like to use the paste as a spread.  Think desert.

This is nice tasting green tea in a super nice tin.  The flavor is fragrant and smooth.  The tin has a double closure - a tight inner closure, and a nice looking top cap.  I am sure I will continue to use the tin long after the tea is gone. Outstanding tea and container. You can find it on Amazon by following this link. Product review ★★★★★
