Jasmine teas are traditionally made by scenting green tea with fresh jasmine flowers. The flowers are picked during the day but stored until the evening when they open to release their heady perfume. The tea is heaped with the flowerheads to allow absorption of the perfume. After several hours, when the heat produced by the tea begins to increase, the flowers are removed and the tea is layered with fresh flowers. This is repeated several times.

Leaf: Tiny, luminescent globes.

Scoop: This is perhaps the only green tea held in storehouses rather than shipped directly to market to preserve freshness. The reason for the delay: a three-month span from its picking to the bloom of jasmine flowers In August and September.

Character: Loose, lightly fermented pouchong leaves mixed with delicate dried jasmine petals infuse to give a pale amber liquor that has a powerfully perfumed aroma and flavour.

Let me start by proclaiming two things; First, I am by no means a tea connoisseur like some of the other reviewers here, and therefore in no capacity to speak to the artistry of making tea. Which, brings me to my second point, I will not be able to be as eloquent in my speech regarding a comparison of this particular tea to any other.
Now that I have provided my disclaimer...this crap is pretty good! My primary reason for drinking green tea was for metabolic reasons, so I rarely ever gave much thought to its flavor...it was more so for medicinal purposes, not enjoyment. Now, I believe I can have the best of both worlds.
I strongly recommended!Price Quality Value - Perfect strong green tea!

I am kind of a tea snob and shopped for a long time for a green tea that I really liked. This is it. Nice strong flavor, great color, great hot or iced. It does not have the grassy flavor that many high-end green teas have. I just cannot develop a taste for that grassy flavor. This tea does not have that. It is far and away my favorite.
Price Quality Value - This is now one of my favorite teas! I love any food/drink with floral undertones

This is now one of my favorite teas! I love any food/drink with floral undertones, but usually those flavors are so subtle you can't tell they are there. The jasmine in this tea is definitely noticeable, but not at all overpowering. It's perfect. I love it with a splash of cream!
Price Quality Value - A great Jasmine Green Tea

I drink a lot of tea. I usually have a black or green tea in the morning, green throughout the day, and maybe a white in the afternoon/evening.
I am a big fan of jasmine green teas, and I have tried many different tea. This one is my very favorite, and the reason Umi became my favorite tea. Their teas certainly aren't cheap, but they are really great, and there are so many different ones to choose from.
Highly recommended.Price Quality Value - I found it in this tea and it's wonderful!

This jasmine green tea is so full of flavor, you can smell the jasmine while pouring into the cup. Its very smooth. I just dipped it a couple of times, not too strong as it will overwhelmed the jasmine flavor.
Price Quality Value - THIS IS THE BEST JASMINE GREEN TEA I'VE EVER TRIED.

I typically drink only one cup of coffee each morning and then change to various teas. Jasmine has been my first choice in the morning and I try to have one more cup later in the day as my goal each day is to drink green tea, three to four times each day. Some green teas have soured my stomach, possibly due to steeping too long.I always enjoy a smooth, earthy jasmine that is very soothing. I am a big fan of various teas, including peppermint and rooibos but I seem to keep going back to this tea.
If you looking for a smooth jasmine green tea, I would suggest giving Umi a try.Price Quality Value
