I have been a fan of Yogi teas for quite awhile. I discovered this skin detox tea a few years ago, and I love it so much. It tastes a little sweet, a little floral-y, and very refreshing. The rose seems to balance out the hibiscus, so there is none of the hibiscus tartness. It tastes delicious hot or iced.
As far as the benefits to the skin, I really do notice that my skin has an extra glow after drinking this. The results are almost immediate. I enjoy the taste and the benefits of this tea. I like to have a cup in the winter, especially if I’ve been out and about on a cold, blustery day and my skin feels damaged and dry from the cold.
If you enjoy Jasmine green tea, you’ll probably really love this delicious blend from Yogi Tea.
Here’s the scoop!

Description:
Our Silver Egret 2015 Spring Jasmine Green Tea, along with our Pearl Buds Jasmine, are currently our only non-Yunnan teas on offer and technically also our only green teas at the moment. Produced in Yunnan’s neighbor province of Guangxi using Zhe Jiang green tea, these teas come from the largest Jasmine Flower producing region of China, Heng Xian. A complex and labour intensive tea to make, this large tip-only green Jasmine tea is elegantly perfumed with the scent of both Jasmine flowers and Yulan Magnolia. By employing a scenting process that involves lining the bottom with Yulan Magnolia and the top with Jasmine flower, a balanced and complimentary flavor is achieved.
This tea is extremely refreshing, with a pleasant, cooling aftertaste. We recommend brewing this tea a little lighter in order to enjoy the subtle sweetness without being too overwhelmed by the floral scent.

Taster’s Review:
I have been addicted to floral teas this summer. To the point where I was craving them and digging thru my stash looking for any teas with rose petals or jasmine flowers. I will admit. I may have had a problem.
This tea actually ranks up there with the best floral teas I’ve tried so far. I love it!
Brewed this tea up with my Breville One Touch this morning for my travel companion for my way to work on the medium green tea setting. The packaging says to steep this for up to 5 minutes. I would be hesitant to steep this tea that long. I would start with 3 minutes on the first infusion to play it safe.
First sip in- I was insanely impressed. This version of a jasmine green tea not only gives you the best of the jasmine green tea world but with the addition of the rose petals there is an added sweetness. There are also notes of plums in each sip giving this floral tea a bit more depth than what I’ve had in the past. The green tea is lovely and is quite smooth and adds a touch of buttery creaminess to the tea. What a gorgeous tea! I’m very happy with how this tea turned out.
To be honest-I am hooked! I am sitting here at happy that I did bring the rest of the tea I have with me to work so I can make up another cuppa. I’m excited to try this tea as an iced tea and as a cold brew. I think I have enough to try this tea a few different ways.
This tea is truly a memorable one and will be on my radar to purchase more once I sipdown more teas.
This will be a sipdown by the end of the day. Woot! Woot! #26!

Taster’s Review:
I have been on this crazy jasmine kick this summer. I used to stay away from any kind of floral teas and now I can’t seem to get enough. I asked the twins last night if they wanted some tea and they picked this one.
Brewed a pot up with the help of my Breville One Touch on the green and medium settings. I poured three cups, 1 for me and 1 for each of the twins.
We sat down to enjoy our tea while we watched our new addiction-Skin Wars on GSN, a body painting competition that is similar to Face Off. Before the first commercial break, one of the twins had finished his cup and was asking for more. I admit, I hadn’t even tried the tea yet, trying to allow the tea to cool off a bit. While I was making more of this tea, I took a moment to see what I thought of this tea.
Unfortunately, this tea wasn’t my favorite of the teas I have tried from Treehouse Teas. Even with my jasmine addiction, something just didn’t hit the right note for me. I enjoyed the green tea and the grassy like components it brought to each sip but the jasmine to me almost had a sour note that I can’t really put my finger on.
Regardless, one of the twins adored this tea and drank a few more cups of it. I’d like to try this one as a cold brew next to see if I can get that lovely jasmine flavor to come out more on a happy note than the sad note. To be fair, the tea could have tasted off because I do have issues with a sinus infection right now. Either way, I’d love to try this one again to get that flavor I adore to come out in the fore front.

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!
