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.

I recently got some Jasmine pearls from a tea shop while on vacation. I fell in love with the taste and when I ran out, I ordered some more on Adagio. These pearls are not quite as good as the ones I got in the other store...their taste is just a little more 'sharp' than I was expecting. However, I will certainly continue to buy these pearls! They are just not the best Jasmine pearls I've ever had, hence the 4 stars.
This tea can be rinsed multiple times. Super fragrant and very floral.
If this was cheaper I would attach a gerbil water bottle to my head so that I could drink it constantly.
Fragrant scent, rich Jasmine flavor. Buds 'bloom' in hot water providing a wonderful treat.
This is definitely the best jasmine tea I've found in a while. Light and floral, with a slightly sweet aftertaste.
Awesome green tea. Tastes kinda sweet. I think I liked this better when I steeped it for 2 mins instead of 3.
Great quality green tea. Smells super flowery but has a mild flower taste, which I love.
This is one of my favorite green teas I have ever had. It has a unique light flavor.
Not overwhelming on the jasmine flavor and holds up well to multiple steeps.
I love this tea! Floral and slightly green. I usually steep it twice and the second cup is more floral.
This green tea is amazing! The fragrance of jasmine and smooth taste is a winner every time!
My favorite tea to date. These pearls are decadent. Not only are they pleasing to the pallet but also the eye! Very fragrant too.
Tastes better than the funky smell, light mix of green flavor with just a tinge of that funk.
Very fragrant tea, smells of jasmine and tasts mild and delicate.
Delicious, and instantly reminded me of tea I’ve been served in good Chinese restaurants. This tea will be one of my staples!
Very light and fresh tasting. Brings back memories of Teavana.
Love this tea. Very light flavor and tastes slightly sweet. My favorite green tea that I've ever had.
I received this tea as a free sample and I am so glad I did. It has such a smooth taste. This is a mild tea with just a hint of the jasmine. My personal favorite
This is full-flavored tea with great re-steep value. I steeped it twice hot (a little longer the second time) and once by leaving the leaves to steep overnight in room-temperature water and it still had good flavor.
I am liking the jasmine tea. Subtle flavor. Nice afternoon tea
This has such a SMOOTH slightly floral taste. Since the leaves are rolled, I get several steps out of this. I find jasmine teas to be super relaxing & this one didn’t fail me. Highly recommend
I really like strong jasmine tea, and have searched many places for the ultimate jasmine tea. These jasmine phoenix pearls are very good in both the jasmine taste and smell. While not the “ultimate,” they are a good choice in value and flavour. I found when brewing temperature given on the package made a cup that was approaching bitter, so I lowered it to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. The taste is very pleasant with a good jasmine smell and a smooth taste. I found that 3 steeping was the maximum before a complete loss of jasmine was noted.
I LOVE this tea. It s perfect on it s own as a nice medium green tea with just a hint of jasmine for when you want a little more flavor both with and without honey. It s also an amazing tea to use as an additive to any herbal teas you want to give a little caffeine to. It s also one I drink when I m trying not to get sick. I usually always try to have it in my pantry for this reason.
A lovely first experience to have regarding jasmine tea.
I love this tea. It is robust, with just enough jasmine to be good and not overpowering. Plus, I just like watching the little pearls unwrap themselves.
Always my favorite! This is actually the tea that got me hooked on adagio. I had fallen in love with the Teavanna jasmine dragon pearls and when searching for a decent dupe online after they closed I ran into this one. Glad to say that I've been a loyal adagio customer ever since! Heck I tell all my customers and coworkers that drink tea to check out adagio, hooray for free advertising for wonderful tea!
Love this tea! It is not my favorite every day tea like Ali Shan, but it is indeed fantastic. I actually enjoy mixing the two - a delicate balance. I find the brewing temp and time that is listed on the bag perfect for me.
Very good tea. Extremely floral, fragrant tea that is delightful. Not as great as the white teas, because it can only be steeped 2x or so and keep the jasmine aroma.
A blend of 1 part Jasmine Pearls and 2 parts Peach Serenity. What a wonderful way to start the day.
A tad bland but still tastes fine. Wish it was a bit more tasteful.
Of course this one was phenomenal. I hate that I didn t order more! The first cup I forgot about and steeped for more than 10 minutes, so it was WAY too strong. The second one I stared at the cup for two and a half minutes before taking the steeper out, and it was gorgeous! Strong flavors that carried over from the scent of the leaves, which is always a plus in my opinion. It kind of reminds me of the summer afternoon walks I used to have with my cousins in the woods behind my grandma's house, as it bears a strong resemblance to honeysuckle.
I absolutely love this tea. It’s just the right balance of jasmine and tea flavors. I like to save this one for a weekend treat or on mornings when I need some extra comfort.
I have always enjoyed jasmine tea, and found this to make a solid cup. Perhaps not my favorite jasmine pearl of all time, but still an enjoyable cup of tea.
This is an incredible tea that's well worth the price.
I really like this tea. I do let is steep closer to 5 minutes because I like the jasmine flavor to be strong. Also, I don’t use sweeteners in my tea very often, but I think this one pairs perfectly with honey.
I've always been a fan of Jasmine teas, but this is by far my favorite. It has a depth to it that is missing in so many others that are nice smelling but have no body. This has a great mouth feel, wonderful fragrance, and is still light. Perfect for after a meal, for finding your calm center, or for winding down at night. The beautiful unfurling of the leaves is an added level of enjoyment and a meditation all on its own.
Anyone who knows me knows I like floral teas (except rose, but that's for another day), though I don't drink green or jasmine often as a result of not getting the steeping temperature just right, resulting in the tea becoming bitter. I think I got it right this time, however, because it's not too bitter. Still needed a little honey, but the smell was wonderful. Watching the pearls unfold was fun to watch, too!
I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’m not always a fan of green teas. I really enjoyed this cup of tea. The heady smell of jasmine unfurling from the small spheres was a pleasant experience.
This is a wonderfully smooth tea. Starting with the scent, followed by the slightly sweet taste, this is a great tea.
This is one of my favorite teas. Perfect for an after work pick me up
I was heart broken when teavana stores closed since jasmine pearls have been a staple for me. These pearls are a perfect if not superior replacement.
Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. I wasn’t sure about trying it, since I haven’t found a green tea I like at all. But, wow! Both before and after steeping it smells like fresh jasmine. And it tastes just like it smells - light, heavenly, fresh jasmine. Lots of love for this one from a strong, black tea drinker!
This is a highly floral tea, but the flavor is pleasantly delicate. Taken with rock sugar
I got this in the communitea package. It is not something I would normally buy as I typically find green teas too grassy, however I really enjoyed this. Watching the little pearls unfurl is fun, and the tea smells and tastes lovely. I went with 3 minutes @ 185 and that did well for me. I added a hint of honey as I like my tea sweetened, but this one didn't need much. Will likely be buying more of this.
I'm a huge fan of jasmine tea, so this was right up my alley. Beautiful fragrance and lovely light flavor, enhanced with a small dollop of honey. Perfect!
I absolutely love these little pearls. It’s delicate and still full bodied. I have several bags of this already and was thrilled to see it in CommuniTEA
Again not in my wheelhouse but in my bfs. He enjoyed it
So first of all this tea *smells* amazing. This is aromatherapy the tea.
The taste is nice and smooth very gentle. A good noontide tea, but only if you don't have to do anything that afternoon.
I tried it. It's super pretty in the little rolled balls and I really wanted to like it. The scent of Jasmine is light and natural, but it still makes me feel nauseous. It is like drinking perfume.
I have only ever tried this tea in restaurants so it was a treat to make it at home. The jasmine reaches out to you while you are still pouring the water over the pearls. Exquisite!
