Still my favorite tea out of everything from Adagio.
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.

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.
If you like floral teas, then this is the tea for you! The jasmine smell is a little strong, but it mellows out wonderfully once brewed and yields a soft, almost sweet, brew. For being a green tea, it's not grassy at all, and the tea lends itself well to multiple steeps before it loses its flavor. It's a little pricey, but it's so worth the higher price tag!
Delicious jasmine tea! Exactly what I was looking for. One of the few green teas I actually like.
My little sister loves jasmine tea, especially on ice and this one tastes very good. It's perfect for a hot afternoon.
While the work that goes into this tea is fascinating, I wasn't able to palate it. The heavy aromatic smacks you straight from the pouch, musky and floral, and when steeped the jasmine overpowers all other flavors. It's not a subtle tea, even when under-steeped and watered down. Too floral. I'm not a fan.
My favorite tea in the world. I love jasmine tea and this one is so tasty and floral. I could literally drink this all day
Too floral - overwhelming jasmine! Green tea was ok but not something I’d reorder for the price
Very light floral taste. Too floral for my tongue, I'm afraid. Might work better as an iced tea, the flavor was almost overwhelmed by the hot water taste.
This is the most delicious Jasmine tea I have ever had. JPP is my go to tea on a daily basis.
This guy is amazing! Such a perfume from the jasmine flowers. I was surprised that the tea actually has whole white jasmine buds. It also gives off a prominent savory, fruity quality just like olive oil. I tried a 2nd infusion for 5 min but it came out too strong. That goes to show how much flavor is packed into this tea!
Very intense jasmine scent and flavor, which I love.
Tasty and very light I definitely enjoyed it with a bit of honey.
Light but flavorful. Nice tea. You can get a couple of brews from a bag.
Affordable jasmine pearls that don't lack in flavor!
My husband loves these. Doesn’t take much to have a bold flavor. And such a great price!
