Gelsomino Cinese

This has become my daily afternoon cup — the floral note is soft and sweet rather than perfumey, and I can actually see the jasmine petals mixed through the loose leaves. Steeping it for about two minutes keeps it smooth with no bitterness.

The jasmine petals scattered through the loose leaves give it such a sweet floral taste, way better than the plain green tea bags I used to buy. I've been drinking a cup after lunch instead of snacking, and it's become my favorite part of the afternoon.
