How to enjoy Chinese jasmine tea

these teas can vary, but I generally find that they're best done with water that's not too hot (i.e. poured before boiling, just as the steam and small bubbles are starting to surface). I usually steep for about 5 minutes, and then enjoy. I actually like the taste better as they cool down a bit (and even cold sometimes.)

is that mandarin as in mandarin orange...? if it is, the best way to enjoy it is to toss it in the trash. just kidding, it might be great. like any other tea, jump in w/ both feet and start experimenting with the Basic Three parameters; temp, time, and tea.

I have discovered that eating oranges while drinking plain jasmine tea is nice. It's a good food pairing.
