A little Huangshan Maofeng

Got this from one of our r/tsaaph members who has a tea pasabuy!

Google Lens search results: Huangshan Maofeng ("Yellow Mountain Fur Peak") is a renowned top-ten Chinese green tea produced near Anhui's Huangshan Mountain. Known for its light, orchid-like aroma and sweet, mellow flavor, it consists of early spring buds and one leaf, covered in fine white hair.

Clean, crisp, slightly sweet aftertaste. Love seeing the leaves sink signaling it's time to taste.

Jasmine Tea experiment

I asked Google if our Sampaguita is the same as what we find i jasmine tea and the answer was:

Yes, the Philippine sampaguita (Jasminum sambac) is a species of jasmine, and its intensely fragrant flowers are indeed used to make or scent jasmine tea. Known as "Arabian tea jasmine," it is often used for tea, perfumes, and garlands, sharing the same sweet aroma as other jasmine tea varieties.

Sampaguita is not just a type of jasmine; it is one of the primary species used in jasmine tea, alongside Jasminum officinale

So I added a few buds from our garden in a jar with wild black tea. Let's see how it goes in a few days.
