My friend from work gave me some herbal tea to try

Inquiring minds want to know what kind of tea it is! I'm always looking for more herbal teas to try
- No clue, my friend is an older Vietnamese guy. He said he got it at the asian market and just called it "herbal tea" and that it would wake me up more than coffee . It is some kind of green tea.
  
  It looks like the one on the left.
Ice breaker tea

I do love a mint tea before bed.
Looks like Jasmine tea
- I love jasmine and oolong. A pity I can't get it where I am sans behemoth internet retailer, because I'm not supporting them.
Is it good?
- Yeah, it was pretty good. A mild and slightly sweet flavor. I'm not sure if I made it right. I just put some into a tea steeper.
  
  Sounds like you made it right, then. Glad you enjoyed it.
  
  Just make sure to use water that isn't boiling. Around 80°C is best. And don't steep for more than a couple minutes with Jasmine.
I have this stuff for oolong. All I know is that it's tea, and it's good.
