Taster’s Review:

I have been drinking cold brew teas like crazy.  It just seems way to hot to drink hot brewed tea right now.  When you get heat index of 106, iced tea is what you are craving.  I’ve also been craving jasmine teas like you wouldn’t believe.  Pretty crazy.  I can’t seem to get enough.  So the other day when I was looking for a tea to drink, this one instantly screamed- Pick Me!

Koni Tea & Organic is a newer tea shop to me.  I have really enjoyed the teas that I have tried from them including Kick the Coffee, a fun butterscotch flavored tea.  So far, I haven’t had a tea I haven’t enjoyed from them.

This particular tea is full of jasmine flowers.  The fragrance just made me happy.  Beautiful jasmine with that green tea undertone.  I couldn’t wait to steep this up.  I brewed this up as a cold brew (overnight in the fridge) and started my day with a nice sized cup of this.  So good.  Sweet, buttery green goodness, with just a ever so slight floral taste.  The jasmine complimented the green tea nicely and didn’t overwhelm the cup like other green jasmine teas have for me in the past.  I’m not sure what the lychee fruit flavor is that was also part of the description of the tea but I’m thinking maybe it added to the sweet flavor I was getting.  Regardless, this tea was perfect to start my day off with.

Later in the day, I did try this as hot brewed tea.  Prepared this like a green tea, this flavor was just as good as the flavor I fell in love with as a cold brew. This tea is such a great versatile one.  My stash of it is unfortunately gone, but this will be one I will need to get more of.  Hopefully in a few weeks I will drink down what I currently have so I can to a little shopping trip at Koni Tea & Organics.  So many teas of theirs I want to try!
