    Jasmine Tea

    I usually drink coffee but I also enjoy jasmine tea. I've used Twinning's jasmine tea bags for some time and have recently tried The Tea Makers of London Jasmine green tea, which is a step up from the tea bags.

    I was wondering does anyone have a recommendation for their favourite jasmine tea?

    Tea Makers of London for me too for the past 20 years. I only have a pinch in each mug, so it takes me a year or so to get through each tin. I bought in bulk last time, so my current tin says BB 2018. But, tastes fine to me. I should add that I'm no connoisseur.

    P.S. Sorry, I'm talking Jasmine Tea. Just noticed you're talking Green Tea. So, ignore me.

    I would find a local Chinese supermarket and buy non-bagged from there.

    Thank you, I'm happy to hear of any recommendations be it green tea with jasmine or just jasmine if that's a thing. Although I think jasmine tea usually is green tea mixed with jasmine flowers.

    Cant recommend any tea, I usually buy loose from the local tea shop. "Jade Jasmine Pearls" last time.
    What I can recommend is the Hario cold brew bottle, jasmine tea is perfect for cold brew in the summer. I always have a bottle in the fridge both home and office in the summer, you get a few steeps from your leaves.

    Can't really help, as I don't drink jasmine tea.

    However, I do drink a lot of tea, and buy most of it from Mei Leaf. They have a few jasmines listed:

    Wow just went down a tea rabbit hole. Can you recommend a good breakfast black tea?

    I usually have Yorkshire tea in a huge mug with milk made with two tea bags ! so I am a proper tea moron, would get a tea pot and some decent tea leaves if I knew what to buy.

    To be honest, if I'm making a pot of black tea at home, it's usually just the Twinings. Two parts Assam, one part Earl Grey. Probably not the thing to recommend on this occasion...

    At work it is usually silver needles in a little flute brewer. Not what you're asking about, but very nice. One lot of leaves can last all day! Just keep topping up with hot water from a flask
