What: Jasmine Green Tea
Where: Israel
Why Should I Care: Jasmine tea can be tricky. I know it's one of the oldest ways to flavor tea, but it seems a lot of companies really have trouble balancing a good jasmine scent and good green tea. I've had a couple where the jasmine was nonexistent but also a good number where it felt like you were drinking perfume. Does Mount of Olives have what it takes?
Packaging: The tea is in these paper envelopes, which is annoying but the tea is fairly cheap so it's ok.
Non-Taste Senses: It has the same yellowish-green color that most green tea has and there's a slight jasmine smell to it.
Taste: You know what? Mount of Olives really did this right. You have a foretaste of green tea and a bold but not overpowering aftertaste of jasmine. It's refreshing, calming and doesn't taste like you're drinking a bottle of body spray. It's nice with or without sugar and although I don't think it's traditional drinking this iced, I'm drinking it cold right now and it's fine.
Overall: For a relatively inexpensive brand, this is some great green tea. If you've never tried jasmine-flavored green tea and are curious, check this one out.
My Rating: Buy it! Here's the real site and here's what Amazon has to say on all this.
