Best tea I ever had, what is it???

Once, about 12 years ago, I had a tea, it was light brown in color like regular tea, and it was in a Japanese or Chinese restaurant.

This tea was the best, it was very smooth and mellow, nothing like the tea we can all make at home. Someone help me, it was wonderful. I think it may have been Japanese, as I have been to several Chinese restaurants since and have never had it agian.

I would appreciate any thoughts and ideas. I have tried almost every tea in the universe you can get from Wal-mart, but I think this was a special tea made from just the leaves.

Mostly likely Jasmine tea, you can find it at a speciality tea shop (teavana, elephant & tea…) or try your local Asian grocery.

Jasmine tea is very mellow and smooth, very comforting. I always compare it to being in a spa, drinking Jasmine tea relaxes you completely. Drinking jasmine tea is like getting a spiritual massage, it’s so soothing to drink, it’s almost addictive!

PS: I dont think Walmart will have Jasmine tea.

My next guess would be hibiscus tea but I think you are talking about Jasmine tea, just try it — you will remember.
