Yes, the jasmine green in the yellow and gold tin is not a high quality
green jasmine but does OK for a quick cup or iced. Don;t let it steep
too long as it gets bitter fast.

I can;t remember the name but there is an oolong in my Asian store that
comes loose inside of a cardboard cylinder and it is some of the
highest quality oolong I've had. I'll try to catch the name next time I
go.
