Description: Pure and natural refreshing green tea lightly scented with jasmine flowers for a delicate fragrance.
Green tea is known for its smooth flavor and refreshing taste. Green teas are made from leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, the same leaves as black tea. Green teas go through a process where the leaves are heated to prevent oxidation while black teas are oxidized for additional color and flavor. Twinings' Jasmine Green Tea is layered with freshly picked jasmine flowers, allowing the tea leaves to absorb the delicate fragrance. The result is a mild and refreshing tea with an alluring aroma.

This was a gift from Janefan.
Not too bad, I also wasn't expecting much from a bagged tea. For a go to bagged tea at work this is a good green tea. I don't think I'd buy this - but I am glad to have a stash of it for now. Next time I think I may sweeten it and steep 2 minutes instead of 3.
