A high quality tea that ends up tasting very soapy.
Perfumy hand-rolled tea from Fuding, in Fujian, China. Each pearl is just one leaf and a bud. When added to hot water, the pearls majestically unfurl, releasing a delicate scent and flavor. Sweet and almost sugary.

Full bodied tea - great for mid morning break
This tea has a great flavor! I recommend brewing the second brew for only two minutes.
Overall it's a lovely jasmine tea, with a nice and delicate floral scent. But the highlight of it for me was watching the buds unfurl in the hot water.
A very lovely jasmine tea! It had quite a lot of flavor and although was not as sweet as the silver needle, it has more of the traditional jasmine flavor as some of the other jasmine teas.
As a fan of jasmine green tea, Jasmine Phoenix Pearls has surpassed any other I have tasted. The tea is smooth with a lingering floral presence that speaks of pure quality. Besides the delicious hot tea, it makes wonderful iced tea with a beautiful jasmine note. This is the green jasmine that I highly recommend.
This is my first time having a tea in pearl form, and it's fun to watch the leaves open. Lovely floral flavor!
Smooth and floral tasting tea.
Perfect way to start your morning
A solid blend of green tea and jasmine flowers. If you're a green tea enthusiast, this is the tea for you with its excellent bitter yet sweet notes and a fragrant amount of jasmine with every sip. I personally steep these leaves twice and it still hits the spot on that second cup.
Bought the teabags of this one previously, still definitely a favorite and even better now that I can make large pots at a time!
Very nice green tea pearls with a strong jasmine flavor and scent, but more delicate and refined (and sweeter?) than the Jasmine Yin Hao. Less likely to get bitter than some of the other jasmine green teas, and good for multiple cups of tea!
Aroma: A+
The strength varies on how long you steep it, I steeped for 15 minutes once and pulled an all nighter just on this, the caffeine level in this is pretty high. Great for mornings when it's steeped for 3-4 minutes.
This has been one of my favorite teas to date. Such a wonderful hint of jasmine.
the flavor and quality are just exquisite- definitely special
Excellent jasmine pearls just like always sweet smell of jasmine and earthy tea so calming just to smell
bright and refreshing! It dances with flavor and vibrancy
These pearls have a lovely, delicate floral flavor. Well worth the price.
This tea is wonderful for any time of the day if you enjoy jasmine.
This tea is so floral and fresh that I want to have a cup every day
Nice floral taste without getting too overwhelmingly perfume-y.
This is the ultimate tea experience...beautiful,ethereal tea.
This has been one of my favorite teas for a really long time. The jasmine smell and flavor is perfect and incredibly calming.
These jasmine pearls are good but I have had more light and flavorful ones.
Highly fragrant, this is an intoxicating floral treat for the nose. It must be handled delicately, but it is an indulgent treat.
Amazing tea, lovely jasmine flavor! Its so fun to watch the pearls unfurl!
Really light with a soft jasmine flavor but lovely jasmine scent. If you over-steep it, it will be too floral and bitter. However this is a go to for me in the morning when I have time before work. I will be reordering this tea. I love it!
This was the absolute best Jasmine Tea I have ever had. It is so fresh and fragrant. I drink it daily because it is just that good!
One of my favorites. Not too strong, but has a great flavor and does wake you up a little
Just tried a sample of this and had to order the big bag...so good
I thought the second brew was better than the first, wonderful jasmine aroma and balanced taste.
Excellent jasmin free tea, very flavorful and relaxing
Nice smooth green tea with just the right amount of floral jasmine flavor.
Super tasty, smells amazing. Light and flavourful and very drinkable. Lightly sweet even with no sweeteners. Definitely not an 'earthy' green tea.
Very aromatic and flavorful Jasmin Pearls. Great tea!
I tried this in a sampler box and immediately ordered it & have shared with several friends at work who are fans of green tea.
I would love to say I have got the whole temp of tea together... but I have been using my Keurig as it seems to get it right. (I really want to get a tea kettle!)
I love these Jasmine Pearls. A little on the expensive side but nice to steep every once in a while.
Lovely cup of green tea, almost my platonic cup of tea, definitely my platonic version of green tea. The jasmine is more of a scent than a taste, although there is definitely something more to the flavor than just a fantastic green. The second cup is as great as the first, and I'm definitely going to try a third steeping.
Very strong, heady jasmine scent upon opening package, with fresh vegetal undertones. First steeping for 3.5 minutes; liquor is a bright gold, and as fragrant as the tea was in the package. Watching the leaves unfurl and the petals float to the surface is half the fun. Tea is strongly perfumed, but with clean vegetal notes and slight bright bitterness underneath that keeps it from being cloying. Resteeps well twice at the same temperature, with slightly longer times, before the leaves become washed out and bitter. Now a household staple with its own little jar.
This is my go-to tea. It's light enough that there's no aftertaste, and the jasmine gives it a slight honey taste. It can also be re-steeped over and over, I just add a little more to the basket everytime.
This tea is not fragrant, sweet, or airy as advertised. It is inferior to the Yin Hao and Fujian jasmine in my opinion. The only reason it doesn't get 1 star is because I still taste something if I oversteep it and turn it into milk tea.
Excellent aroma and taste. The leaves open best in a larger area like a French Press
I had high hopes and expectations, but was not as excited by this tea as I'd thought I would be. The jasmine scent and flavor was a bit too light and dry for my taste.
Very good tea, good flora, a bit light for me. Excellent high quality tea.
Very bright taste, little bit stronger then I expected
Pea-sized pearls. Open up quickly, smooth, buttery mouth feel. Sweet green tea, easy to overbrew if you’re waiting for all the pearls to open. Good for multiple short brews.
liked this tea a lot, jasmine typically sends me in another direction but this tea has a very mild green tea taste , which is good and unlike others , the jasmine was flavor was just right
A beautifully perfumed tea that you sit down with a friend and while away the afternoon. The joy in watching these precious tea pearls unfurl for your sipping delight! As was said by another tea fancier.. It s like I can taste the earth, the green hillside in China where it grew, the sunshine and the jasmine flowers in my cup. Words that say it all! Enjoy!
My absolute favorite tea!!! I order this every single time and will continue to do it!
This is a very good tea. Just do not overstep it and you’ll love it
I love jasmine pearls and this was no exception. Floral but not too much, sweet, and green a wonderful tea with sushi or all by itself. If you want to try and drink more green teas this is a classic. You just want to be sure not to over steep this one.
