[EN] I steep at the very low temp of 155° to 165°, to prevent bitterness of the tea. This tea is very difficult, even at that low temp, it can become very bitter, very quickly. If the temp is kept low, and the steep is kept to 2 minutes maximum, you may be able to get a nice subtle flavored tea. But this tea requires somewhat strict steeping rules, so not for the inexperienced to try green for the first time, I'm afraid it would turn them off to the great range of this wonderful tea.

[EN] This tea is awful. I made it according to the instructions. I also tried different temperatures and with different amounts of leaves. Every time was the same result. There isn't any flavor AT ALL. There's no green tea flavor. There's no jasmine flavor. There's no lychee flavor. There's no bitterness. There's no sweetness. There's nothing.
It's very obviously awful quality.There are a ton of jasmine buds, and there's no Jasmine scent at all, so it makes ne wonder if the jasmine was ever even actually pressed into the leaves.I don't care about if tea is fragrant or not, but lack of any scent makes it obvious that the jasmine won't be a factor in the flavor.
I drink a lot of teas, mostly white and green. People who don't drjnk pure tea have said the tea I get is tasteless. That's obviously not true, they just don't have a palette for traditional pure tea. This, however? It is tasteless. I know that lesser quality tea is usually used to make flavored tea, but that's not an excuse. I like the peach oolong tea from here, and it's nothing like this. If you like lychee green tea, just get any plain green tea from here, and get lychee syrup or lychee flavoring extract.
