It sounds like it was a very high quality tea, if you paid that price for it! I apologize that I have not read your prior question, but to address this one white teas are usually very different in taste from green or black teas!. It's possible that you didn't steep the tea correctly!. White tea is very delicate and because of this is one of the trickiest teas to steep properly!. Try this: heat the water you are going to use (preferably very high quality water) until the water is just about to boil, but is not fully boiling!. Let the water sit for a minute or two, then pour over the tea leaves!. Let the tea steep for 60-90 seconds, then strain the leaves out of the tea!. This should give you pretty close to a perfect steep!. The tea will be very light tasting, and the jasmine should come through pretty strong because of it!. It should have a significantly floral taste and a mellow finish!. If this is not the case, then you may want to consider returning it or discarding it!. It's probably old, or was stored incorrectly!.

i personally don't like jasmine flavored tea because of that flowery taste!. If you don't enjoy drinking it, I suggest you return it and get something else!. Try An Ji White tea!. it's Very very good!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
