Taster’s Review:
I constantly find myself surprised when I taste a decaffeinated tea and really enjoy it the way I am with this Jasmine Green Decaf Tea. You see, I had way too many decaffeinated teas (years ago!) that ended up tasting icky and chemical-ish which were not only unpleasant to drink but would also impart a rather disagreeable aftertaste that seemed to linger way too long.
But, I’m not experiencing those unwelcome flavors with this tea! This tastes sweet, luscious, and quite lovely! I do adore jasmine tea, and this tea offers me a fantastic way to enjoy it later in the evening when I’d rather not have so much caffeine in my system.
The green tea tastes delicious, slightly creamy and very smooth. It is difficult to discern that this is actually a decaffeinated tea, and had I not made the pot of tea myself, I wouldn’t have guessed it. It does taste only slightly “thinner” than a caffeinated Sencha would taste … but the differences between this and a caffeinated green tea are so minute that I really have to focus to notice them.
And the jasmine tastes very nice. It is not overdone so there’s none of that soapy taste to this. Just gently sweet, beautiful jasmine.
A really brilliant decaffeinated green tea, this Jasmine Green Decaf.
