★★★★☆
I prefer Jasmine Silver Needle. The jasmine seems more pronounced in the silver needle.
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.

Just much too floral for me. Made my mouth taste like the time I accidentally got perfume in my mouth.
smooth taste very nice to have in the morning and throughout my day with the perfect amount of honey and raw sugar you will be set
This is the good stuff. This tea is wonderfully floral and really almost sweet, and watching the pearls unfurl puts me in a trance. I imagine this tea is what the most charming and delicate fairies drink. Be careful though: it becomes bitter if it isn't treated right (I suppose that's like fairies, too), so I'd recommend watching it like a hawk and steeping it at a lower temperature than suggested.
This is my first time trying Jasmine tea. It is very aromatic. I don’t think I like floral teas, but I’m sure this is a good one if you do.
Smells great, tastes like perfume. Not my cup of tea.
This was a nice green tea. I really like the jasmine
I love watching this tea steep, just don’t use too hot of water or it’ll be bitter
This tea has the most amazing aroma! Taste wonderful too!
Just a fantastic tea. Very aromatic and tastes as good as it smells.
Refreshing alone but I love to mix this with just about any tea because everything is better with Jasmine!
Delicate and floral, I love it. Perfect after dinner tea.
This is our absolute favorite. So delicate, and handles multiple steepings easily.
exotic & decadent tea! it is quite floral, and somehow very gentle in flavor too
This tea is magical. No sweetener neede. Tasts great and floral but not overwhelming. Its a wonderful tea.
My absolute favorite. Smells Devine and feasted even better. Highly recommend.
This was my first introduction to pearl tea, and I am HOOKED!! I originally ordered the sample, and two days later I ordered a larger bag!
A great light flavor. Exactly what I was looking for in a jasmine tea. The scent is strong but the flavor is perfect. Burns pretty quickly so sleep less than it says to.
Good tea but definitely like jasmine yin hao better.
I purchased a sample to taste as I love the smell of jasmine. This did not disappoint. Beautifully fragrant, both in the packet and after steeping. It's calming to watch the pearls open during the three minute steep. The flavour isn't quite as robust as the aroma, but it's still a lovely experience.
This is a very nice tea. Fragrant and mild. It’s not at all grassy.
Not as good as the jasmine chun hao but still good!
favourite adagio tea of all time! So smooth and silky. love the subtle taste
I really love a good jasmine tea, and this is quite good! Soothing, not too floral or perfumey, I personally think this has just about the right amount of jasmine. I'd actually recommend brewing this hotter than recommended- I found that if I brewed this according to the instructions, the tea was way too weak.
A friend gave me a single serving of this after discovering we both used this site. I instantly bought more after trying it. I gave a single serving to a friend and they immediately wanted more. Do the world a favor and stop the spread of this amazing tea by refraining from purchasing.
Love this tea, gorgeous green tea, I love seeing the pearls 'bloom'.
Pretty good. Very floral, slightly fruity. A pretty solid afternoon tea. The jasmine becomes overwhelming after a couple infusions though.
Simply the best jasmine tea I have tasted. This is now one of my regular orders.
I LOOOOVE this tea (well, for the price it had better be good)...but really, it has the smoothest, most aromatic flavor...very calming and with a good quality honey it makes an excellent iced tea to sip slowly all day long. Adding some lemon can bring out more tannin type mouth feel, which I actually like doing.
I truly didn't expect to like this one, but I think its romantic aroma has me falling in love. This is true wild jasmine flavor--exotic, green, slightly animalic, and naturally perfumey without any fake fragrance additives. Truly one of the best green teas available on Adagio that I will happily re-purchase. If you enjoy pearl teas, don't miss it.
Just perfect, complex, warm integrated jasmine flavor. Sophisticated. The Jasmine and tea flavors are perfectly balanced. There's a lot going on with this tea - lots of subtle notes. I love it. Am re-ordering, BUT - WHY DON'T THEY HAVE AN 8 OZ. PACKAGE? ONLY 3 AND 16 OZ.
Outstanding overall.If you love jasmine, this is quite possibly the best out there. Beautiful to watch steep, smooth on the tongue.
I had to order this after trying a sample pack. Very earthy in a good way, smooth without the bitter or sharp notes. Goes along well with honey, but as someone that sweetens most tea I drink, it's actually great without sweetener.
Awesome, worth the price. Love to watch it un curl, tastes like it smells!
My favorite by far. It’s SO delicious and aromatic, absolutely recommend.
A good jasmine tea, but I have had jasmine pearls from other companies that I prefer
Probably the best I've tried when it comes to green jasmine teas. Not too bitter.
The scent and taste are mild and not overpowering. I liked the flavor of the tea from using Adagio's temperate and waiting time.
My favorite of all the teas I've tried so far. Great aroma and taste. Besides that, this tea has the least messy aftermath - the leaves are larger than usual, without all the teensy pieces that make other teas hard to clean up after. (Update: Sept 2020, still a favorite after all these years.)
I love to add these to other tea mixes. Specifically the Mint Comfort and 40 Winks. I definitely recommend and will buy again.
Love this tea! Great flavor and smells amazing definitely recommend!
Perfumey and seductive, one of the best ever. You need only use about 5 pearls to get a full-flavored cup of tea.
This is one of the best teas I have ever tried, highly recommend!
delicious, delicate, wonderful jasmine fragrance and flavor. This is always a favorite!
Where do I begin? This is the first tea that made me always come back to Adagio, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't arrive here because of uncle Iroh. That said, the first time I had this tea it blew me away with the depth of flavor, beautiful floral smell, and slight natural sweetness that lasts for multiple infusions. If you've never had a cup made from these pearls, just know that they truly make a "calming cup of jasmine tea."
solid jasmine tea, nice and smooth with a mild caffeine kick
I love jasmine tea. These pearls are no exception. They re tiny so they also have that cuteness factor to them
super tasty, when i want a good proper cup of tea this is hands down what i will drink every time.
Reminds me of the tea I get when I eat at a Chinese restaurant, but better. Nice floral notes in the tea and the aroma.
It has a very nice green tea flavor. Very relaxing.
