At this point, this is my very favorite tea I've purchased 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.

pretty good jasmine... I'm not big on jasmine, but I really dig this one
I never thought I was a fan of jasmine, until this tea. My boyfriend, who is not a tea drinker, even enjoyed a cup with me.
The first time I made this I put the leaves in too soon and the tea was terrible. Once I prepared it according to the directions, it was great.
These I have used for years. I brew them in black tea, such as Scottish breakfast tea, and they soften the taste without overpowering it.
Great! I love to have in my pantry. To my taste this tea is ultimate comfort for dinner/supper time.
This tea has funky appearance. It is nice to brew in a glass teapot in order to see how it will bring these leaves back in life and to your enjoyment. A bit pricy tea, but it's a really good deal at the button of that cup!
These are great! A bit pricey, so definitely only an occasional treat.
This tea has a great flavor and more than a hint of Jasmine. I use a wee bit of raw honey and about 30'ish pearls (I use a tablespoon and whatever stays, brews). I use a French Press for my loose leaf tea (there really is nothing better) and I pour the hot water in and watch the pearls blossom. The second steeping is still very flavorful. This is a quality tea and one I will buy again!
I prepared it hot. I've had this before and really loved it. It's a new staple for me.
A really cute looking tea. I like the taste isn't too floral.
This was a pretty good green tea, I have come to love all green teas I try, this one is pretty strong, I would suggest steeping and removing.
Loved this wonderful, delicate flavor that was slightly sweet on my tongue.
Amazing. This makes a perfect cup of Jasmine tea. Nice balance between green and floral flavor.
I love green jasmine pearls, they're always so refreshing! They're expensive, but worth it, and I'm pretty sure Adagio has the best price on dragon pearls that I've seen. I haven't perfected my brew yet (I think my water has been too cold/haven't used enough pearls to get the right strength in my brew), but even my mistakes led to a tasty cup of tea!
I regularly buy these for my Chinese parents and they love them. You can also get a few steeps out of them since they are pearls so you enjoy a couple cups throughout the day.
One of my favorite teas. Great in the morning or evening. Definitely a go to tea.
Very light so I find myself brewing a bit longer than recommended to get the flavor I want. tastes great mixed with a little peppermint as well. Definitely going to order again.
This is the best tea! So smooth and perfect any time of day.
love that this is not overly floral, perfect for making my jasmine milk-tea
Absolutely love this tea. My favorite tea to date. Will buy again.
Buttery smooth. No dry mouth-feel after. Made me remember why jasmine was my favourite tea as a child.
I've generally found jasmine teas to have a bit of a bite that I don't like but this tea has less of that. The taste is good but I think I drink jasmine tea for the aroma anyway.
I like this tea. it's subtly scented, and the flavor lasts for a many cups. A little bit pricy, but totally worth it
My husband used the whole sample and I got none :(
Smell just like jasmine incense takes us back to our hippy days.
One of the best teas adagio has to offer. Very light and fragrant. Can be brewed multiple times.
These are really good! I love these little pearls. They smell so good when you first open up the packet. They make the perfect green tea.
When I drink this tea, I think of a simpler time: a time when the life-sucking responsibilities of adulthood were far away. The floral notes in this tea provide a calming lull in my day that make me ask myself, 'Is 10am too early for my mid-day nap?' It's always 9pm somewhere, so to heck with saving this tea for nighttime only.
It definitely has a certain sweetness. Mild green with strong jasmine aroma.
I was disappointed with these pearls, was expecting more jasmine scent and flavor. Gave them to a family member then ordered the Fijian Jamine Pearls which were exactly what I had hoped for in a jamine tea.
Purchased as a gift for my sister and she loves them. Will definitely reorder.
When I want to spend a little extra money and have an elegant tea I order this Really a fine tea
Very floral, but balanced jasmine flavor. Slightly sweet
This tea has a light floral scent but not overpowering. I combine it with the sencha tea for a super healthy drink.
Steeped too many, too long, kinda messed me up. Lovely flavor, though, which di enjoyed even as my heart hummed.
Tried this for the first time and was surprised at how good it tastes! Wayyy different than any bagged tea. im usually one to add a little honey but this tea is completely fine by itself. it makes me regret not indulging in loose teas earlier! never knew a tea could be so soft and velvety! yum!!
a tiny bit sugary as described. love this tea, not overly perfumy.
Simple amazing! A little goes a long way with this tea, and you don't have to be an expert to enjoy it. Ever since I got a sample, this is the only one I order. 5 stars!
I prefer delicately flavored jasmine tea to stronger jasmine tea. I would recommend this to people that enjoy any form of jasmine tea. The pearls are lovely when they unfurl. this tea is also highly aromatic. It pairs well with savory, spiced dishes.
I was surprised that I didn't like this one as much if not more than the Jasmine silver leaf. I know a lot of people love this stuff but I found that it lacked the sweetness and subtlety that I didn't know I was looking for until I tried the JSL. It's pretty, but a little too harsh for my taste. I brewed all the tea by steeping it in my glass teapot so I could see how long it took to brew.
I love jasmine tea in general and this one is at the top of my list. It's so rich in the flavor and a tad sweet. I guarantee I'll finish the bag within a month.
Very nice tea, the pearls were a little bit weird at first, but the taste is very smooth.
Purchased to mix with two other green teas for it's health benefits. I love watching the pearls uncurl when drinking it to start my day. It is easy to burn the tea leaves though so you have to be mindful of the temperature and steeping duration.
So so so good. The Jasmine is almost overpowering but is so satisfying. This tea is full bodied and delicious. I can get at least 3 steeps out of it before I notice it's taste diminishing.
I have had other jasmine teas but this is, by far, my favorite.
You only need 6-8 of these for a sweet cup of jasmine. Plus, it's fun to watch them uncurl in your cup. A mini show stopper when I don't have the big pearls to show off.
My husband and I loveeeee this tea! We've received a different brand of jasmine pearls for Christmas that quickly became our favorite so when I saw that they carried it here I was eager to try it and see how it compares. The adagio is actually so much better- more fragrant, better jasmine flavor, and it doesn't have a slight soapy aftertaste that our previous tea had. The price is slightly better as well.
I love this tea! Great flavor. I like the pearls too!
I love this tea. It is one of the best I have tasted. Its a little strong for white teas but still pretty good
Always make this in a brewer where you can appreciate how beautifully the pearls open. I often brew in wide mugs and use my chopsticks to remove the pend pearls when it's ready.
This is my green tea of choice right now. light and fragrant and delicate. The smell is heavenly, and the taste lovely. I enjoyed with a little almond milk and sweetener. It really didn't need either, though.
