Steven Smith Teamaker's Jasmine Silver Tip (Varietal #96) green tea is one of the weaker teas from the collection, but it's still very good for a jasmine green tea from a teabag.
The Basics
Jasmine Silver Tip was harvested and steam-fired in Fujian, China. Later, it was scented with fresh jasmine flowers. It is a relatively whole-leaf tea in a pyramid teabag.
