Tea Notes: David's Tea: Jessie's Tea

Steeped somewhere between 4 and 7 minutes in water heated to 200 degrees F, this tea forms a beautiful gold color. The scent is very relaxing with hints of coconut and lavender. The flavor is rather delicate and enjoyable without additional sweetening. The most noticeable flavor is the coconut, but it is not overpowering nor unpleasant. I enjoyed this cup of tea greatly in my delicate porcelain tea for one set from the English Tea Store (stay tuned for a review of the product later).

Jessie's Tea came in my latest sampler from David's Tea. It is an all organic, all caffeine free sampler with some new and some familiar blends. Like the other 2 samplers I've gotten, this one has 12 small tins of tea.  It was a logical set to purchase as I like to avoid consuming caffeine in the evening and staying up until sunrise (unfortunately I know this from experience). I'm also growing a bit bored with the delicious chamomile tea from Harney and Sons and wanted to mix things up a bit.

All in all, Jessie's Tea is a beautiful, delicate, tasty tea that I give 4 stars.
