- Nice enough but not my favouriteI love Jing... I mean I absolutely love Jing. I have developed a slightly worrying tea habit over the past few years and was excited to try this tea.
Maybe my expectations were set too high but this is the first tea from Jing that I have regretted buying... Maybe the batch I had wasn't the usual standard, but for me it lacks depth of flavour when compared to other breakfast Assam teas.
That said, I have only sampled one batch of this tea and it is perfectly drinkable.
In summary, this one isn't for me (for the price I'd rather drink another brand of Assam) but Jing remain by far my favourite company for quality teas and teaware.
