I really wanted to enjoy this tea and I was sure I would. Unfortunately, the taste was entirely too floral for me to enjoy. Watching the pearls bloom was enchanting, though!
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.

This is a light green tea according to my taste buds. I usually have a cup in the afternoon, very relaxing.
Excellent - tasting notes and reviews are true. A little expensive, for sure, but reliable.
This tea has a classic jasmine scent that I love. Excellent value. One of my favorite jasmine teas.
You buy this for the aroma. I wasn't sure I was going to like the smell of jasmine in my tea, but, wow, it feels substantive when you drink it. My wife (who does not drink tea) said it smelled like I was drinking flowers. I told her I was in a way.
This is one of my favorites. It is the green tea's softness that augments the jasmine. Love this one!
This tea is very, very nice. It is a little more expensive per cup, but worth every penny. I highly recommend this tea for its easy drink-ability and don t be afraid to steep the leaves a time or two!
My go to tea. Slightly less caffeinated but soothing to drink. Second brew of this leaf is always best
This little phoenix pearls never fail to impress. The flavor is wonderful. Don't let them steep too long though.
Very pleasant, but remember you really have to like the perfume!
Husband is a huge fan of Jasmine, having first had it overseas in a black tea blend. The pearls bloom beautifully in a large tea maker.
a very nice mellow cup, smooth and very nice light smell.
I love cutting a bit of Jasmine tea in with my peppermint teas and this fit the bell really well.
I left a cup steeping for too long and this didn't become a harsh bitter like some teas over steeped can be.
Bought this for my coworker. Its smells so aromatic!
A little goes a long way. Don't over-steep it, or it will be pretty bitter. Liked it made lightly with a little splenda. Good stuff and makes many cups.
Amazing! I love jasmine tea, and these pearls are so fragrant
This tea is AMAZING!!! I ❤️ the flavor and the scent is absolutely heavenly. Huge fan.
These pearls are very heavy on the florals. Not my favorite, but less picky friends loved it when I made them a cup. Good for at least 2 steeps.
So fragrant and delicious! Could drink this all day
It tastes exactly like it smells. Soft, flowery, and perfect. One of my alltime favorites. I always make sure to have a bag in my tea cupboard.
Really strong, I had to mix it with another green tea, gunpowder so the Jasmine wasn't so overpowering.
This is the only green tea i really like. im a black tea kind of girl but this mixed with a lemon wedge or lemon honey really taste quiet fine.
cant wait to order more, this is one of the best teas i have had.
Beautiful jasmin tea. Great quality leaves. I adore this tea!
This tea is really floral and.. perfumey? It's got a great jasmine scent to it. The tea is airy and light with some nice jasmine flavors. I go through multiple short steeps and the flavor holds up well until about 8 steeps in. My go to tea for a calm and relaxed study session.
I like to steep in a 150mL gaiwan using 4.5g of pearls, steeping from 10-20 seconds at around 190-200F. Oversteeping can get the flavor a little bitter and overwhelming. Keeping the steep under 20 seconds to the end keeps the tea nice and light for me.
For a darn near perfect cup of a true jasmine infused tea, this is a must have. You ll never settle for a jasmine tea from a bag again. 2 min first infusion, then 3 minutes and the third cup is just as enjoyable as the first (well, almost).
This is MUST HAVE tea. Great for digestion, perfect “after a meal” cup. Great taste and wonderful light Justin smell.
Love this jasmine tea. Great flavor, one of my favorites!
One of my absolute favourites. It's wonderfully light and floral. 2 mins at 165° is perfection, but as with all greens, if you have the water too hot, it will burn the leaves and make the tea bitter. You can leave the leaves in a bit longer if you want a harder flavour hit, but you don't get the same balance that you get at 2 mins.
great green tea! very floral. a lot of jasmine in it.
Rishi Jasmine is still my favorite. This just did not have the strong flower taste to it that I prefer.
I'm fairly new to drinking jasmine teas, and this is my favorite so far. It has a great aroma and flavor!
Lacking a little more needed Jasmine flavor but is indeed delicious.
This is a very good Jasmine Pearl tea, my wife loves this tea and this type of teas has been instrumental in her cholesterol reduction.
Right now the best Jasmine tea around Oregon, sure I will orderer again
Sweet, delicate, golden. This is my all time favorite Adagio tea, well worth the little bit extra (when compared to other Adagio teas). 15 pearls for a 12 oz cup, 4 brews from the set of leaves.
Thank you so much ! At last, I have a true jasmine pearl to blend with Rooibos tropical blend from your store to reproduce my absolute favorite flavor of tea—-yay !
Great flavor. Smooth green flavor with a noticeable, yet gentle Jasmine flower taste. Good for an upset tummy.
Pungent jasmine, high quality and worth the price. Don't oversteep!
Exactly what I was searching for and couldn't find anywhere else in the USA.
This tea brews to a beautiful golden color —very similar to a Taiwanese Jasmine Oolong. You will get FOUR, fragrant, floral brews from this perfect tea.
A beautiful tea. I recommend infusing in a clear glass vessel so the pearls can unfurl freely, and watch them dance in your cup as they imbue your broth with their delicate floral essence. Delightful!
The smell of jasmine was great. The green tea was also good. But I loved the jasmine silver needle, and this isn t quite as good. Stil a nice tea, though!
Very lovely jasmine aroma, and a light floral flavor.
One of my favorites! I enjoy tasting different jasmine varieties
Fantastic taste. Love the smell of the tea as well. Goes down smooth. This one helps me with my reading. Phenomenal
Not really a fan kinda has a flowery taste. Used as both hot and cold. The hot is defy better tasting
I love this tea! It has a light, smooth flavor and is very fragrant.
I absolutely love this tea. It is not only good as a hot tea but makes an exceptional iced tea as well. A little goes a long way!
The flavor is a bit strong and the Jasmine gives it some bitterness. I tend to drink my teas with no sweeteners added so maybe with some honey or sugar it would not be that strong. For the price of this one I would rather drink a tea I enjoy more.
UPDATE: I found if I brew 4-6 pearls instead of the recommended the flavor is much better, with no bitterness, so I do enjoy this tea now.
Jasmine scent is very light and floral. A good daily jasmine tea.
