Jasmine Phoenix Pearls Customer Reviews

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.

★★★★★

Best full flavor jasmine tea that I've tried. Also, it doesn't get acidic the way some green teas do even if i over steep accidentally.

★★★★★

Expensive but very good! I ordered from another brand but I love this one more.

There’s no jasmine tea that compares to this. It reminds me of my childhood when we would visit authentic Chinese restaurants. Every sip brings me immense happiness.

I love Jasmine tea, and this one stands out as one of my favorites. It is the perfect after-dinner beverage or for when you just need a relaxing afternoon at home. I recommend very light sweetening (I use local wildflower honey).

This is my go-to morning pot of tea now. The fragrance and the delicate, smooth taste is always delightful. I never feel the need to add any sweener. I use a tsp scoop which makes a 4c pot, and sometimes I'll even rebrew it.

This is my current favorite green tea. I love that the jasmine comes through, and is light and gentle. It's easy on the stomach while giving a nice boost for me in the afternoon.

Possibly the 'perfect' cup of tea. The body of a great green tea with a subtle fruity and floral sweetness that hits the nose and the tongue. Perfection.

I really wanted to like these, but although they are nicely mellow, I just don't care for them. It's high quality tea, but it's not for me. I do kind of like how much they bulk up in water, though.

On the more bitter side than I was expecting. I would reorder if I knew better ways to enhance.

These are my favorite pearls, just add a few to my custom tea blends. I was surprised with how much they expanded once used.

★★★★★

Love this tea! The jasmine is so sweet smelling and very smooth. Love watching the leaves unfurl and it is not too floral for me.

This was an exceptionally good flavor of tea, fragrant with floral notes and very delightful flavor. Taste just like Jasmine smells

A fragrant tea, smells like taking a deep breath in a freshly bloomed garden but subdued so as to not overload the senses. Subtle and restrained, smooth and delicious.

★★★★★

Very nice light flavor. The jasmine tones are comforting but not overdone. Semi sweet undertones. Love this tea!

★★★★★

These are a staple in our home. From the calming way the pearls open up, to the amazing smell, and on to the first sip. I tend to steep it longer as I enjoy a slightly bolder flavor, but it is amazing every time.

This was my first time having a pearl tea and they opened up beautifully into a nice relaxing cup of tea. I didn’t need sugar

Very jasmine-y, and delightful for a winter afternoon when you are missing the flowers of spring and summer.

★★★★★

I am.guessing I steeped for 6 mins the 2 to 3 mins suggestion thr pearls had not even broken up yet so I just kept seeping and swirling till they broke up and then I poured our but it was perfect ai really liked it and I didn't think I would like perfumy but it was nice.

This is a WONDERFUL jasmine tea. The scent of the flowers immediately hit you intensely, then merge with the light green tea background after. Truly stunning, will order again.

One of my favorites. I steep 1 tsp of tea in 180 degree water & only 2 min. This is the one I use on most mornings. I get about 4 cups from this amount. I enjoy a lighter tea & I don't use any sweeteners. I always keep this one on hand. Still one of my fav's next to Blackberry tea! UPDATE: Still my Favorite and I continue to keep it in stock

This tea was light and refreshing! It is perfect with sushi and Mexican dishes and lamb. Steeping time is critical as is temperature to avoid bitterness.

I love this tea. Floral jasmine perfection. I love this tea hot (good for a couple of brews), and I also love to ice it!!!

★★★★★

perfect jasmine tea to start the morning! it has a crisp taste of florals and the savory feeling of the tea.

One of my favorite teas! The floral jasmine flavor is strong, and a bit of rock sugar turns this tea into a wonderful dessert.

Great jasmine tea. Really strong flavor. It’s also cool to watch them unfurl.

3 min steep · 212°F

This is a delightfully light jasmine tea--and watching the pearls unfurl is quite the treat in my glass teapot. The taste isn't anything you can't get without the rolled pearls, but these make for a great present when you want that bit of a 'wow' factor.

I can’t explain how much this jasmine tea has ruined me! I love it so much, it’s such a treat, never had such a strong flavor in jasmine tea before, and I honestly might not be able to drink any other kind of jasmine tea, I just have to remind myself that this should be more of a treat because of the price, which I’m willing to pay for such a wonderful flavor.

★★★★☆

“It’s so Jasmine I’m expecting to see a pet tiger.” I don’t think I can improve my sister’s comment much. Very strong floral aroma, gentler flavor of unadulterated jasmine. Depending on personal history it may evoke memories of tea at a high-end asian restaurant, or the taste of soap.

Really good if you enjoy jasmine tea! It was good, just not my favorite flavor. I drink jasmine when I come across it but I don't seek it out. That being said, this is a very good jasmine tea. Sweet, floral, smells amazing! I got two 16 oz steeps from the one packet which was what, maybe a two? It will last you a long time because these leaves pack a lot of flavor!

CommuniTEA sample: 2 min @ 195 F, following infusions for 2.5 min and 3 min @ 195 F. Very clean, fresh tasting jasmine green tea! The floral, perfume-y nature of the jasmine really brings out some of the sweetness from the pearls, which are very fun to watch unfurl. The aroma mostly leans in the jasmine direction, but the taste is a little bit more complex. Some of the vegetal And the grassy notes that you might expect in a green tea are blended seamlessly with these sweet, floral taste, and at some points, it reminded me of a crisp, green apple, having a little bit of a natural bitterness, but also sweet, delicate, floral flavors.

I don't like jasmine tea, that said this is a really good jasmine tea. The beautiful pearls unravel and give off a beautiful aroma.

Wow the jasmine perfume is strong. I’m enjoying the smell more than the taste. I tend to not be a fan of teas or foods that smell like perfume. If you enjoy a heavily perfumed tea, this is definitely the one for you.

★★★★★

A wonderfully fragrant floral tea without any bitterness. Smooth, drinkable, lovely experience. I can't wait to re-steep these leaves.

Smells strongly like jasmine and has a good, dry green tea flavor. The pearls unfurl into beautiful leaves when brewing.

I bought this as a gift, I'm sure the recipient will love it. In my experience, Adagio's jasmine teas are usually really nice!

This is a bit drier than the other jasmines I've tried, and for that I'm OBSESSED. This is my favorite jasmine tea, and it tastes like the flowers on my jasmine sambac smell all summer long. Delicious!

I love this tea. I have purchased this many times. Very fragrant and floral. You don’t need many pearls, it’s strong.

Has a very pleasant smell. If you aren't a fan of bitterness in tea, this is really good with a teaspoon of honey.

This is my wife’s favorite Adagio tea; the jasmine aromas and flavor are very well done and blend very well with the green pearls.

Lovely tea with or without milk! We love Jasmine tea, so I got the sampler. My daughter drinks this every morning with some sort of creamer.

★★★★★

Sweet and floral. So good. Worth the extra money for the pearls. Multiple brews. A nice smooth tea. Don’t over brew or it will be bitter. Sometimes I add just a small sprinkle of raw sugar. Heavenly smell.

Nice Jasmine, I love to watch pearl teas steep and to taste the differences between each steep. This is a particularly good one to steep in a small glass teapot!

A bit pricey but it’s a nice treat. Side note- I brew two cups with on teaspoon since the leaves are tightly packed.

Like others have said, it is rather perfumed and heavily scented outside of the normal green tea fare, but that may or may not be to your liking. I overall enjoyed it as I find most green teas to be a touch mild.
