Having been given a JING glass Gong Fu set recently, together with a set of four teas – Assam Breakfast, Dragon Well, Silver Needle and Jasmine Pearls, I am impressed by the quality of these products. The Gong Fu set came in an attractive good quality solid card presentation case that securely held the tea pot, jug and two drinking cups, all of which are dishwasher safe. The teas are also attractively packaged in their matt gold tins and their contents each distinctive in their flavours. The Assam Breakfast Tea, full bodied and rich, with a maltiness and a slightly sharp edge, the Dragon Well, more subtle, warm flavour with a hint of mango and a nuttiness running through it, the Silver Needle by comparison is lighter and had melon and cucumber notes and finally the Jasmine, has a robust floral flavour with a very slight acidic quality to it. All four of these teas are very distinctive and lovely drinks to enjoy by yourself, or with others, they are excellent quality and given that the leaves of some of the teas can be re-infused several times (the individual packs give guidelines) they are very good value. A further testament to the quality of JING’s range of teas is that we understand they can be found served at both Heston Blumenthal and Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants and are the tea of choice at The Lanesborough, Aqua Kyoto and Browns.
The JING web site www.jingtea.com contains a wide range of teas including sampler packages and tea ware that are excellent quality, these JING products make great gifts for any occasion or are simply worth buying as a treat for yourself or a loved one.
