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.

Great aroma, light on taste. Really can’t brew this for more than 90 seconds. Ideally 60 seconds. It’s a solid morning tea, but brewed more than once and you’ll get a little jittery though the flavor is still good for twice brewing
This tea is just great, perfect for cold winter days by the fire and reading a good book.
The jasmine aroma +strong green tea is a winning combination! One of the best teas I’ve had from adagio
Tastes really smooth and great with honey and on ice
I love jasmine pheonix pearls!!! My number one go to tea.
Looking for the old Teavanna Dragon Pearls? Look no further - this is your new go to tea.
This is my favorite comfort tea. I love the Jasmine notes mixed with the green tea. The scent and flavor are heavenly. If you steep it too long, it will be bitter. I find about 2.5 minutes to be perfect. The leaves can be re-steeped 2-3 times. The jasmine flavor gets a little weaker each time, but the green tea flavor is still good.
Good but not overpowering Jasmine flavor. Good for multiple brewings. Sometimes I mix with other white or green teas.
I ordered this on its own after trying the jasmine tea sampler pack. I love jasmine tea but this particular one out of the sample pack was by far my favorite. The pearls alone smell amazing like a delicate flower. The taste is a bit like drinking heaven. I enjoy this tea in the evening after work but before bed to wind down some. On occasion I will make some and drink on the way to work in the morning. If you like jasmine tea I highly recommend this!!
Has to be one of my favorite jasmine teas. I'm always getting jasmine at boba places but jasmine green tea bags from the store never taste quite the same. This is full of that bright floral bitter jasmine green taste I'm craving, and I'll definitely be getting more. Being in pearl form just makes it more fun.
Update: I held a blind taste test with my husband (who does not drink tea) to compare the jasmine teas adagio sells (except the super expensive one) and this was still our favorite. It's noticeably better than the supermarket brand, and even the other looseleaf jasmines from adagio didn't measure up.
My personal favorite! Very light in flavor, but packs a punch with fragrance. It's my go to tea for relaxing or celebrating.
Never liked green tea until I found adagio. Wonderful jasmin scented tea
Has a strong strong flavor, must be an acquired taste.
I had no intentions of liking this, but it had other plans. I have been accustomed to drinking Black Teas until I tried this. I went through my last order far too quickly because it's so darn good.
Still my favorite tea out of everything from Adagio.
My all-time favorite green tea. This has the sweetest, most comforting scent.
I love these pearls. They have a wonderful jasmine smell that really creates a great experience when drinking the tea. Wonderful for multiple steeps during school to keep me going through class.
One of my favorite green teas. Gentle and flavorful. Only 3-4 pearls make a satisfying cup of tea.
Totally worth the extra money. The flavor is full and the aroma is calming. I really like this one.
excellent light green tea. The jasmine gives it a delicate sweet after taste
Tastes as good as it smells. I love watching these little pearls unfurl, and the resulting tea is light, clean, and floral.
hot tea with rock sugar. This is my 'go to' tea. Love it!
Very nice. Just what I expected. Full of flavor.
Love these pearls! They have a really great flavor
Never was my favorite cup, but I feel with a few years difference and with quality tea, I could give it a second chance. Loved that I did. The 'perfumy smell was a bit much for me' but as a tea and with the timing right, came out fresh and actually something I could enjoy. scent is strong, but taste is royal. Not too much (even if I do compare it to smelling and drinking chanel 5)
Bought this for my brother who said this is excellent. He said these pearls have a depth to them that he hasn’t had in other versions.
If is a great jasmine tea. You won’t be disappointed.
Exquisite. Good for a brew or two, don't overheat the water. Do take a moment to enjoy the aroma and color.
Smooth and delightful, this tea is exactly what you'd expect from a jasmine green tea. I often make multiple cups with the same leaves; you can easily enjoy two cups using Adagio's recommended portions and steep times.
I was hoping for a bit more flora, but part of the problem might be that I haven't figured out what herbal tea to pair it with. (The Wild Strawberry was not a good replacement for the Teavanna Strawberry Lemonade.) I'll up date my rating and review if I find a better thing to pair it with.
I brewed this a few times. Once at 175 degrees for 2 mins and once using the cold brew method. The cold brew method turned out better (paired with Peach Serenity, but SHOULD be noted I didn't like the Jasmine Phoenix Pearls and Peach Serenity with the hot brew).
Edit: Flavor improved with Raspberry Patch, will continue updating as I experiment.
Definitely a Jasmine tea!! Very florally taste, but that's what I like. Very smooth and pleasurable to drink. Also enjoyable to watch them unfurl as they steep. Did drink with a tea spoon of Teavana Belgian rock sugar to add a touch of sweetness without overpowering the natural flavor of the tea.
I just my Jasmine Phoenix. It's mild and soothing.
After reading all the reviews I had such high hopes for this one. It was okay, but definitely not my favorite.
I absolutely love this tea, it is by far the one best. It is not too sweet or light a blend, but no one flavor over powers you either. Very well balanced.
When I first had this tea it was way too strong but then I realized I over steeped it. I recommend two and a half minutes to 3 minutes for this tea, any longer in the Jasmine flavor becomes way too strong and it's like sipping on perfume. But when this tea is made just right it is beautifully balanced between the subtle earthy nuances of the green tea and the delicate sweetness of the Jasmine.
Very nice smooth flavor. Have no problems drinking lots of this tea.
Excellent tea! Will reorder for sure. Brewed per instructions. Loved it.
The real deal, love this one! One of my favorite green Teas
Wow, this is now my new favorite tea replacing Mango Green. This is very smooth green tea. No grassy notes.
I'm a big fan of green teas and Jasmine, but this tea was musty for me. I like the smell but even with a lot of sugar I couldn't get to liking it enough. I'll have to try something else.
This is probably my favorite jasmine tea. And there is just something about sitting down with a cup of jasmine tea; its such a special treat and makes you feel special just inhaling the scent.
I love this green tea. The fragrance is wonderful. I love to brew this tea then inhale the fresh brewed tea before taking that first sip.
Love jasmine infused teas and this one is one of my favorites. It has lovely aroma and smooth, delicate taste.
I mix this with peach serenity and it's amazing. Drinking this alone is also a treat!
This is my all time favorite tea! I have had other Jasmine teas but always go back to this one!!
Very good if you brew it correctly! The first time I made it, i followed the instructions on time and temp and it was amazing, the second time I let it steep too long and it was very bitter. As long as you’re careful with this one it’s a great one!
This was one of the best teas I've had. Very flavorful, but mild.
If you like jasmine this it the best I have found. I love everything about this tea! The smell is heavenly. The taste just perfect. My earlier sample was bitter, but somewhere throughout my tea purchasing I found it again and it is my go to for my morning tea. It is often unavailable, so I snatch it up when I see it.
Personally, I did not like this kind of tea but perhaps other people have a difference in taste.
Great tea. Amazing flavor, its good to mix with other green tea which do not have a strong flavor.
