Jasmine Pearls by Canton Tea

I actually brewed this last night and this morning.  I had two pots last night, and both were simply amazing.  I think brewing this in my cast iron pot added an edge to it or something.  When I brewed it in my glass pot, the flavor was light and just the right amount of flowery.  I think the leaves steeped out rather quickly though, because I left them in the pot.  This morning, the taste of flowers is gone, and the green tea is very rough and grassy.  The liquor is dark, even though I didn't steep the first cup very long, and much of the flavor is gone.   It's very flat.  I will try brewing it again in an infusion basket, or using a strainer and pour out all the tea at once.  I really like the way the pearls uncurl.  It was very fun to watch, so I'd hate to put them into a little basket and hinder that process.
