Its a common question among caffeine addicts and general caffeine drinkers:
How much caffeine is in X
Well – Jasmine tea is no exception and you’ll be happy (maybe sad – I dunno!) to know that ots similar to that of green tea. Jasmine tea contains very little caffeine of note and averages:
5-20mg per cup
I’ve only seen these specific jasmine teas at Adagio (US) and Jing (UK). I’ve seen other rolled Jasmines but I’ll be concentrating on Jasmine Pearls for this review.
I first bought some of these back in August 2008 and falling head over heels for the tea alost immediately I wanted to give it some time to allow sense to prevail so a more objective review coul be formed. Jasmine Pearls are quite simply one of the finest jasmine teas I’ve come across.
As they’re hand rolled you are treated to their gentle unfurling as they steep in the hot water, unleashing the fragrance and colour as each second ticks by.
The taste is incredibly refreshing and the leaves will provide at least 3 to 4 cups of good quality. Though I’d recommend at most 2 cups per serving of leaves as it feels almost criminal to not have a fresh batch of the balled leaves opening in your cup for each drink.
I’d strongly recommend these to anyone regardless of whether youre normally a fan of green and jasmine. These are a truly amazing tea and have entered the cupboard as my favourite jasmine of all time. Never will my stock run down!
A fantastic 5/5
