What is your favorite Jasmine and why?

Jasmine #5 from adagio is my favorite. It has the freshest taste, but I am looking to branch out.

Hands down, Adagio's Jasmine #12 is my favorite. Wonderfully scented and the pearls unfurl with such grace. This tea is like drinking beauty in a cup.

Jasmine pearls (I haven't tried adagio's jasmine pearls because of the shipping costs to Europe). Clear jasmine taste. Easy to brew at work, even in a simple glass.
In fact the only flavored tea I drink.

I love a good Yin Hao Jasmine! My fave! Actually, it is not an oolong and I have had or seen a oolong jasmine. Although, I am sure it exsists somewhere. I love Yin Hao because it is a very delicate and refreshing drink. Just calms the mind and soul.

Regardless of the tea I like to cold brew mine. I feel like the tea comes out very delicate. It reminds me of the scent of the flower on the plant. Ahhhh

I have been a cold brew fool lately. I love Bao Zhong cold brew!

My first post!!! :D
