My review is not posted. Wish I can try the sampler before purchasing.
Price was somewhat pricey, but the taste is almost same as cheap jasmine tea that I can buy around at $5.I bought the dragon well tea as well and it was not that bad, I can give 4 stars, but I can give 2 stars at most for this tea.I wish I can try the sampler before purchasing...

better quality than most other jasmine teas that Amazon sells
This is a good quality jasmine green tea; noticeably better than the stuff that Amazon sells in the yellow tin cans. This is also much more expensive than other brands, but you get what you pay for. This tea has a nice fragrance as well as a nice rich flavor.Jasmine tea is a Chinese-style green tea that requires a higher water temperature and longer brewing time than Japanese-style green teas. We steep it at 195F for at 3 to 5 minutes. Jasmine green teas is more fragrant and smoother tasting than Japanese-style green teas. It does not get bitter with longer steeping times or repeatedly steeping the same leaves. If you're serving tea to a large group, you can just leave the teapot on the table and occasionally refill the pot with hot water. If the tea starts getting too weak, you can add some more tea leaves. We use a Chinese-style teapot with a built-in strainer.

Very aromatic
This is a very nice jasmine green tea with extremely strong floral aroma. Upon opening the package you're hit with a wave of perfumey jasmine scent, even dry. The tea leaves are attractive and large, without much noticeable crumbling or detritus. There are no steeping instructions so you'll want to experiment to find your desired temperature and time of steeping; though many Chinese green teas seem to work fine even when brewed with boiling water, I tried mine around 180F for 60 seconds and the resulting brew was already strong enough that I might be hesitant to go any hotter. There's a bit of underlying bitterness even so, and the green tea flavor is present but not very powerful or special; what's special is the jasmine-flower aroma, which wafts up wonderfully from the cup. All in all, it's a very high-quality jasmine tea.

Excellent jamine scent.
In addition to being coffee fanatic, I enjoy great cup of tea.Yan Hou Tang Organic Jasmine Green Tea Loose Leaf is an excellent quality tea. It comes in a resalable bag *clip for keeping it securely closed after initial opening is included in the package).Tea has rich, deep color, and jasmine flowers (white "specks" are also clearly visible).Immediately upon opening the bag you can detect delicate jasmine scent.Upon brewing - 3 minutes in 100 ° C water, the scent is till present, taste is delicate and not bitter with slight astringency at the end.I prefer to drink quality tea without any additives such as sweetener or milk/creamer etc., to appreciate the aroma and flavor, but if you prefer you van add anything your heart and palate desires.You WILL enjoy this tea!

Organic jasmine green tea -- rich flavor and aroma. Perfect inexpensive gift.
Smartly packed to give as a gift with an outer box, a detailed information sheet and an extra, reusable bag sealer.The tea is loose leaf and has a rich sweet, jasmine aroma. When brewed as directed on the included instructions, the tea was bright, fresh, and had a distinct aroma of jasmine. Best served hot to enjoy the aroma, but it makes a refreshing iced green tea but lacks the aroma of hot tea.The bag is big for the quantity included and it's made of unrecyclable materials.A good value at about $15 at the time of our review. This is a great item to give as a gift for a friend or family warmer, office boss, or as a welcoming gift to a new neighbor.We like and recommend this jasmine green tea and will be repeat a repeat customer.

Authentic Jasmine green tea from Taiwan
I have always enjoyed teas that are popular in Asia, such as matcha green tea from Japan and Jasmine green tea from China and Taiwan. As long as you can trust the safety and quality of the tea you are drinking, it is always better to buy it from the countries that are experts at growing the type of tea you are interested in. I almost always trust food from Taiwan, since they have excellent food safety standards there. This Jasmine green tea from Taiwan is one of the best I have tried. It has a very pleasant aroma that you can smell as soon as you open the bag. The tea itself is fairly strong, a little sweet, and not bitter at all. Very satisfying. Keep in mind that green tea does have some caffeine, so you might want to avoid drinking this at night.

Good quality green tea
I got this "Yan Hou Tang Organic Jasmine Green Tea Loose Leaf" for my father who likes drinking green tea. Here is what he says about this product.The good:- Good quality Jasmine + green tea. Unlike tea powder, this product comes with the leaf which is minimally processed.- Great flavor and smell, not too bitter comparing to normal green tea.- Priced reasonably.Other thoughts:Since this product does not come with small bags, it is highly recommended to use a tea pod. Overall this product gets my recommendation based on feedback from my father. I hope you find this review helpful and I appreciate that.

Yan Hou Tang is the real deal: Excellent and authentic tea from Taiwan
This is our first tea from Yan Hou Tan and after tasting its clean and fresh flavor we highly recommend this Jasmine to any Asian tea connoisseur. For a non-Chinese native, I consider myself somewhat of a Chinese tea expert and have traveled there more than a dozen times.At the current cost of $15 for roughly three ounces, pricing is quite similar in China for a quality brew like this one.I have visited tea growing communities in China and have learned that far more important than grade is freshness! Taiwanese teas like this one are indeed excellent. I hope you will come to appreciate the exquisite flavors of Chinese teas as we have.
