Sample 5 is a pearl jasmine type tea. Pointing Google Translate at the packet made for some amusement... "green tea" "cloud flavor" "vicissitudes of years" came through... no real hints that it was jasmine.  Google Translate seems like it would be a great Oracle of Delphi in this situation... mumbling barely comprehensible stuff that foreshadows upcoming events.  I treated it like other display teas and brewed it in a 12 oz batch with water at 185F.  Very nice brewed this way.  Strong jasmine aroma, over a high quality green tea.  Very nice mouthfeel and long long aftertaste.   More of a middle-palate green flavor rather than the really sweet pearl jasmines that are out there. But still very pleasant.
