Everything I expected and better. The best green tea that exists.
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.

Everything I expected and better. The best green tea that exists.
This is the tea that initially got me into exploring teas. The Jasmine comes through on the scent very strong, but in the taste it's mellow and blends in perfectly. Goes great with a light dessert or after lunch sort of tea on cold days.
Love this tea! Because of the high cost, I don't use an entire teaspoon as is recommended, but I think that the tea can still be re-used three or four times without sacrificing any flavor or quality.
I like this green tea in the afternoon or late morning. It is calming. it has a gentle, slightly sweet taste to it. It's like having a hug from a friend.
Excellent. Perfect balance of jasmine and green tea, slightly sweet and a smooth mouthfeel. Will order again.
The prominent flavor of the jasmine bud makes this lovely green tea a real pleasure. The pearls themselves are beautiful and they yield a very good tea.
I am new to loose tea and a friend told me I have to purchase this one and I love it. I mixed it with Fijian silver needle and it was very tasty. I made 3 cups from the one batch and added a little honey. Very cool to watch steep!
I've only had one cup and I'm already back ordering more. This is the freshest, lightest, full flavor jasmine tea I've ever had. I'd like to share it with one of my coworkers who gifted me some jasmine pearls a few years ago, but TOO BAD - these are all mine!
This tea is great. It smells and tastes amazing. I love jasmine, it is my favorite flower. If you think jasmine is too floral then you may not like this tea. The jasmine flavor in this tea is pretty strong. I loved the tea and it can steep multiple times. I think I got up to 4 cups. This tea will taste way better than any green tea bags you have bought at the grocery store. I will buy this again and I would recommend this to my friend
Wonderful, wonderful taste. It smells amazing, looks amazing, and tastes amazing. All around, a delight to the senses.
This is my favorite Jasmine green tea. I like my jasmine tea more on the floral side and this hits the spot. I wait until my kettle just starts to wisp and then fill my ingenuitea with 4 scoops jasmine pearls and a small scoop of rock sugar. lastly i fill the ingenuitea with the water up to the label and let steep for 3 minutes. Perfect!
A wonderful, reasonably priced jasmine tea with a fuller body and richer floral overtones than the other lower grades. Very good for the money as I get at least 2-3 steepings per teaspoon of leaves.
Nice smooth green tea with a pretty strong jasmine essence. I love it, but the jasmine may be kind of strong for others. I have steeped mine three times and it still taste as strong as the first. My favorite green tea thus far from Adagio.
The pearls are the way to go for jasmine tea.
They're fun to brew, have a perfect jasmine flavor - and are even great for a rebrew.
We don't brew at specific temperatures or times, just until the tea has darkened and is hot.
very strong jasmine flavor, I add a few pearls when rebrewing another jasmine tea! Perfect and great value.
A nice green tea with the jasmine flavor, make sure you don't over steep it!
my go to jasmine tea. always good...
This is a very nice jasmine tea. It smells wonderful and the flavor is amazing. It doesn't have that medicinal flavor some jasmines have.
I like my tea unsweetened when cold (lemon only) and lightly sweetened when hot. Jasmine Phoenix pearls stand up nicely under both conditions. From two teaspoons, I was able to brew about five really good 16 oz batches. I appreciate a tea that can keep on giving. I wish some of my favorite black teas would learn to do what green tea can do!
A personal favorite of mine. Caffeine wise, this is perfect. I drink this while working to keep my energy and focus up. It's also very delicious - not overpowering with a nice bordering-on-tingling sensation.
I liked the flavor. But, it is not strong enough for me. People who want a lighter version green tea, they may like it.
This is my favorite green tea! It is so flavorful and the aroma from brewing is unmatched!
Wonderful tea. A good jasmine flavor without being too strong. It was just perfect. First steeping the pearls didn't unfurl all the way and so the flavor didn't really come out until my second steeping. I was able to get 3 good steepings out of a tsp which is 18 - 20 pearls for those counting. For best tea I recommend: Heat water to 175F, pour over 1 tsp. pearls and let steep for 5 seconds then dump the water. This gets the pearls to loosen up so that you'll get the best flavor from the steeping. Now put the pearls in 8oz of the hot water and steep for 2 minutes. Enjoy. I didn't change the water temp for each steeping and only increased the time by 30 seconds. I suggest you let the tea cool to a comfortable temp before drinking, for best flavor. If you feel you need to blow on it to cool it off before sipping, then its too hot. Best flavor when its warm, not hot.
this tea is kind of the best jasmine green tea I've ever had.
Smells like heaven. Very good tasting tea the only problem is you need a good bit to make a decent cup and it pricey but worth it if youre a fan of jasmine.
While a little expensive, this is an excellent, enjoyable tea. Floral and not bitter, this is my favorite adagio tea.
I love jasmine tea and this did not disappoint! It has a wonderful aroma and tastes like jasmine tea I had over in China. I would definitely order this again!
My favorite go-to tea. I like to steep it a little longer for the robust flavor. Jasmine is not too overwhelming or flowery, and complements the tea well.
Lovely jasmine tea. Love watching them open up. Give them plenty of room in the strainer to unfurl.
I love everything about this tea, from the unusual shape of the leaves to the gentle flavour.
This is my go to tea. Whenever I order from Adagio I try something new and buy Jasmine pearls as well. They're delicate, sweet but the taste is full. The pearls are beautiful and I'm a fan of the cards with the picture of the farmer which come with each order. It's the best jasmine tea, best green tea I've ever had.
Jasmine green tea pearls are a little on the pricey side but they are worth it! I've used them to make great tea as well as tea infused alcohol which can be pretty awesome in mixed drinks.
This tea makes me feel elegant and refined! I find that the pearls give a bit of a sweeter, richer taste than the normal jasmine green loose leaf, and they are good for multiple steeps.
This tea is simply delicious. The aroma and the jasmine taste are so uplifting. I drink this tea at work, and it really helps to brighten my day. It does an especially good job at helping me relax, even if just for a moment.
This tea was ok but i won't drink this again not my cup of tea
I love this tea. I have tried many types of teas, but always come back to this one. I typically steep for 4.5 minutes because I like stronger tea, but also very good if steep for 3 minutes. You can definitely re-use the leaves at least 2 times. I find that if you steep too long on first two uses, the 3rd one is a little weak.
For the price, it is hard for competitors to compare to Adagio. All other places I have purchased a similar style tea charge $80 ore more per pound.
Enjoy!
This is my favorite green tea from Adagio. I can resteep it about 3 times with increasing steep times (2, 3, and 4 minutes).
My favorite tea, without question. Tastes amazing, smells amazing, keeps me awake in the morning. Highly, highly recommend.
What an excellent Green Tea. Such great flavor, and it looks cool too as it brews!
My favorite jasmine tea! It's of a high quality and is very mild in flavor, unlike the bagged store-bought ones that tend to be a bit bitter, if steeped for longer than 3 minutes.
Very nice, very flowery tea, jasmine flavor is very strong, so it's for people who really like jasmine.
the taste of these was great, like yin hao. for some reason I just gravitate to the yin hao or, for a treat, the blooms.
A solid jasmine green, but surprisingly, I did not enjoy it as much as the Jasmine Yin Hao. The jasmine flavor is very subtle, too subtle for my taste. In my long search for a more perfect jasmine tea, I must still fall back to Adagio's Yin Hao.
This is a very soft enjoyable tea. The Jasmine aroma and flavor is well integrated and not at all overpowering.
The Jasmine Pearls are just as enjoyable cold as warm.
The tea stands up well to resteeping.
My fave of all times, but a bit pricey though. If I really want to treat myself and enjoy the tine on this Earth, big-big YES!! Usually I can steep this tea three times, although jasmine aroma goes down with each time. Bottom line: great.
My 16 year old son LOVES this tea!
A great green tea flavor with that hit of jasmine.
great jasmine tea I have ever tried, good for high tea, like it
This is one of my most favorite teas ever. I especially like it as an iced tea in the summer. Delightful@
Jasmine tea pearls are my absolute favorite brew. It has been this tea that encouraged me to break my coffee habit for good (6 months). It has the perfect combination of caffeine, and soothing jasmine. A nice hydrating balance that is equally good iced or hot.
Unfortunately, I ordered a whole pound of jasmine pearls for $64. My worst pearl purchase! The taste is ok but there is barely any smell upon brewing, if any at all For me part of the joy of pearls is the uplifting smell. Very disappointed customer.
