December 15, 2014 - Buddha's Blend


Buddha's Blend
Suggested serving

Amount: 1.25 tsp
Time: 2 - 3 min
Temperature: 80° C
Notes: Caffeine free.

Ingredients: White tea, green tea, jasmine pearls, white hibiscus blossoms, natural and articifial flavouring.

Review: Last year I had given this tea only 6.5 noting that it "acrid potency that produces a thin stream of sweet vapour to lodge in my throat"; however, this time around I must be more generous. The aroma of Buddha's Blend is wonderful with the hibiscus flowers and jasmine pearls providing a floral peach-like scent. The flavour is also a bit peach-like and slightly bitter. But be warned not to over-steep this tea as it becomes quite astringent.

Rating: 8.0/10
