This tea is phenomenal. I was skeptical at one time about hand rolled pearls, but now I truly believe it helps keep the flavor inside.
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.

A really phenomenal jasmine tea. Wonderful fragrance, fantastic taste. This is one of my new regulars
By far my favorite green tea. It gives that classic taste that I am so familiar with when I think of green tea. A must have for any tea drinker!
It’s certainly not the type of the tea as the name suggested. First of all there is no (or very little) jasmine in it. The green tea itself is of low quality as well, the tea leaves are large and rather flavorless, definitely not the good tea leaves picked from the best part of the tea tree. When it unfurls in the water the leaves grow so big, makes bad presentation as well. Overall it’s very disappointing and way over priced.
This was my first foray into the jasmine tea world. It is very strong and perfumey but delicious and aromatic. It took me a few brews to realize how much I liked it.
the jasmine pearls really smells good. taste is not as strong as other tea. the tea i drink before makes my heart beat faster. I was calmer with this tea.
This tea treats the eyes, nose and taste buds. I feel calmed as I watch the pearls unfold, and smell the soft sweet jasmine, the flavor does not disappoint,with a little rock sugar or Silk ( a soy product) Yummy.
The fragrance is enchanting! My favorite for a rainy afternoon.
All I can say about this tea, is Wow. This tea is simple beautiful, it has a delightful flavor, wonderful earthy notes from the green tea, combined with the delicious floral notes of jasmine
If you like flowery jasmine, this tea is for you. Well worth the price.
This tea smells fantastic. A beautiful jasmine aroma from the second you open it up. I had to brew it a bit longer and bit warmer than normal green to get the blossoms to open. Tea was a little milder than I like, but great for a green tea. If you like tea with more body, add extra pearls. I did 2.5min at 200F
Have to agree with the others, a bit on the pricey but completely worth every penny and some. I find its the perfect way to unwind after a long day at the office.
I love the smell and flavor of jasmine so this with the most infusions is certainly right up my alley. I think this is in my top 5 teas. It is good hot or cold and really I can't think of a time of day it isn't a great choice.
An amazing tea. When brewed according to the packaging, you get a very soothing tea.
Very powerful aroma. The pictures don't really show it well, but these things are very small, and there are at least a thousand in the bag. You only need 2-3 of these pearls to make a very aromatic tea. Definitely will be buying these more.
Very tasty, and if you've bought the ingenuitea, then you are in for a visual treat. I love the way they uncurl as they steep: http://www.flickr.com/photos/humanflight/5514261035/in/set-72157617750973756/
The nose on this tea is a very nice mellow tea with a fairly strong Jasmine note to it and is translated into the cup very well. It is also good for a second/third brew without losing any of the flavor or complexity at all.
I mixed these with white pearls from another company and it was a good combination.
Best jasmine ever! Even though it is a little expensive, I always keep this one in stock.
Great anytime, very rich jasmine flavor and a smooth body
Very good tea to calm your stomach. And enjoyable other afternoons too.
I LOVE the Jasmine pearls. This is the second time I have bought it. So smooth and yummy !
I love this tea! I like watching the pearls unravel as you wait. this tea is a bit pricey, but you'll forget all about the cost after the first sip!
Excellent flavor--and still wonderful after the third steeping!
I love Jasmine tea! This is perfect for making Jasmine milk tea too…mmm..mmm
Plus I love watching the pearls unfurl!
Robust scent and nice flavor. You need to make sure to use two 'heaping' teaspoons for optimal flavor.
This tea is beautiful as well as soothing. The aroma is strong and the taste itself is a great balance, not being too light or heavy with light floral undertones. It is fun to watch the pearls unfurl-best if you have a clear glass teapot.
I enjoy the smell of jasmine when my cup is steeping hot.
Very smooth, very tasty. Steeps well 3 times and is a perfect start to the morning.
I have had other versions of this in the past, and I didn't find this particular one to be quite as strong as others I've tried.
Great flavor and an almost buttery mouth-feel. One of my favorite teas.
My wife really enjoys green tea, but I am not a fan. I was hoping the Jasmine in this blend would help, and boy did it! Will definitely order again.
Absolutely wonderful aroma. beautiful, flavorful tea
Very strong Jasmine flavor. I think it would be better mixed with another tea, like a fruity rooibos.
These little guys pack a mighty punch. I use 3-4 pearls per cup and find it is plenty strong.
Delicious and exceptionally easy to ensure that the same amount of tea is steeped each time.
Best green tea! this stuff is tasty. Going to buy this one all the time.
this one was really good. it smells exactly like the jasmin my grandma drinks. just tastes better.
This was my first jasmine tea to try, and I wasn't fully prepared for the experience. The only way to describe it is like drinking old lady perfume - but in a good way. The aroma and flavor of the 1st brew was a little strong, but the subsequent brews were great.
I'm a little disappointed with this one. It was out of stock so long, and had such positive reviews I just had to try it. Unfortunately it just wasn't that exciting. Don't get me wrong, the tea is good...it's just not as amazing as one would think by reading the reviews.
Love the jasmine pearls! They have a wonderful scent and delicious, light flavor.
This is my favorite out of all the green teas. You can really smell and taste the jasmine.
The flavor of the tea is excellent, if a bit mild. But the jasmine aroma is STRONG, like drinking perfume (it makes my office smell nice). Not what I'm looking for in my morning cuppa, but nice on occassion.
This is one of my favorite green teas. I love the smell on a cold winter morning.
Jasmine Phoenix Pearls is also the tea I pull out when people who like tea, but purchase mass produced bagged teas. This wins them over every time!
My absolute favorite tea on the planet! It is a little pricey but I am more than willing to pay for the delicate, pure jasmine floral notes. I even reuse the tea leaves to make 2nd and sometimes 3rd brewings!
I love this tea. It is light with floral undertones and I like to watch it uncurl.
Lovely, light jasmine flavor. The pearls expand out a lot, so even though the 9 to 12 pearls I use per cup doesn't look like a whole lot, it's more than strong enough. Be careful what you use to sweeten it, though--the light flavor is easily overwhelmed.
These are good pearls, though not amazing. Then again, I've probably been spoiled by the Fujian pearls in that respect. Comparing the two the Fujian are much superior in flavor and aroma, are more tightly rolled, and hold up to an extra infusion or two.
The Jasmine Pearls 12 are good, they smell great and taste nice, but don't stand out from Teavana's pearls (I would put them on a comparable level of quality) like the Fujian do.
I am not sure why this tea gets such rave reviews. Sure, it is good, but I don't see a huge difference between this and other green jasmine teas.
So fragrant I stuck my face in the mug and just breathed it
