These pearls are gorgeous, smell great, and are delicious! This tea is scented quite nicely with jasmine, which comes through in the brewed cup. A fine jasmine tea!
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.

This is our favorite Jasmine. The rolled little balls unravel when it's steeping, and the smell is so good! The flavor is really light and a little floral. Love this one!
Very pure jasmine taste. I have tried many jasmines, as it is my favorite tea, and for the price, this one most definitely doesn't disappoint!
I love the Jasmine #12 and have shared it with many of my friends.
I have tried many Jasmine teas and this is the best so by far.
I first tried this tea as a tester back when the tins were still given out. It very quickly became my favorite tea. It's funny but I hardly ever drink it by itself--instead I love to add 4-6 pearls to what I term 'base'teas (my favorite being Ooooh Darjeeling and Yunnan Jig) to give them a light floral flavor and a bit of a kick along with the deep woodsy flavor the aforementioned teas carry. This jasmine is a wonderful combination of light and airy along with deep and subtle. Nomatter the time of day or season I always return to this one. You should try it, you won't regret the purchase! And if you do, then send your leftovers to me. :-P
This is by far the best tea I've ever tasted. I had been looking for a jasmine tea that tasted similar to one I tried at a Korean restaurant. It took me a year to find one that could compare and this is it.
The tea has a great aroma and wonderful jasmine taste. I'm very pleased with this tea.
Loved watching it unfurl in my IngenuiTEA. This tea is fantastic.
Very nice green, which is saying something coming from a man who doesn't generally much care for greens.
This is a good Jasmine Tea, I've tried to compare the Jasmine Yin Hao and the Jasmine Phoenix Pearl and they are similar. But I find that This tea is stronger in flavor than the Jasmine Yin Hao, and I love both tea.
And while this tea can survive more than one brewing, the Jasmine Yin Hao Doesn't.
So Bottom Line, I can't choose, I love both of these tea!!!
i have had Jasmine pearls before and this is good but a little light on the jasmine flavor.
I love the refreshing taste of the jasmine and have ordered several teas with it in the past. The pearl are so unique and fun to watch.
Has a little bit of a sweet/flowery taste that's pretty good, but for me I can't drink it everyday.
Perhaps I just haven't managed to achieve the right balance of time and temperature yet, but I was not amazed by these jasmine pearls. Even in the bag, the aroma already has a tinge of bitterness. It's lacking the sweet quality that I associate with jasmine. The flavor, once steeped, is okay but still lacks the sweet floral attributes I'm looking for.
I love adding a few pearls to all my teas, gives a nice sweetness without the addition of sugar or honey
Wonderful flavors. Decently complex and very easy to enjoy.
This tea is amazing. The tea is very light, but quite aromatic. I am very pleased with this.
Great flavored green and its in ball form. Would recommend
I absolutely love the 'gentle' nature of this tea! It is a great sit back and relax experience.
Excellent jasmine tea! This is my favorite of Adagio's jasmine choices. The jasmine flavor is quite strong, so it isn't for people who aren't a big fan.
One word - awesome!!! A must for every jasmine lover
Subtle ... amazing. The best Jasmine tea offered by Adagio.
This is by far my favorite tea ive ever had. Floral aroma, great taste.
Best jasmine out there that doesn't cost its weight in gold. Has that jasmine floral aroma and taste, light but good.
very nice balance of a soft jasmine and a sweet green
Exceptional aroma, exquisite flavor, light and satisfying!
This is a great tea. It tastes just like it smells.
fantastic, one of the better jasmines I've ever had for sure. watching rolled teas like this unravel is always a treat, to.
Ha! Now I see why this tea is out of stock all the time. I just received my sample of this, wow! I thought at first it would be a regular jasmine type green tea. I was wrong... It needs a couple sips to really get the taste down. The jasmine is obviously there, but deeper is a sweet mellow flavor. Yes, a delightful tea, I'll have to get more now. I'm probably going to say this is my second favorite green tea yet. Going to go finish this cup...
Looks, smells, and tastes great. Not too much jasmine, a good balance.
This is one of my favorite teas. The Jasmine is not too overpowering.
This is one of my favorite teas I have ordered so far from adagio. It is darn easy to brew first of all to get a good taste unlike many of the green teas which are known to be temperamental in getting the 'right brew.' It tastes great and is visually festive because the tea is rolled up into balls that unfurl when the hot water is poured on them.
This is my absolute favorite tea. The jasmine flavor never overwhelms the tea, and the pearls open up beautifully as it brews.
This stuff is amazing. Just straight up delicious warmth - I keep giving into my friends' requests to try some from my sample bag, and every single person has declared it their new favorite. I have to reorder since I'm down to about one cup's worth of pearls.
This is my favorite oolong - even my coworker from China raves about it!
I have a standing order for this tea. I drink it every day when I arrive home from work, sometimes 2 full pots before bedtime. Dizzyingly beautiful scent and, brewed at 180 degrees, never bitter.
A perfect jasmine tea! I'm not sure what else to say about it, it's a just-right, never bitter jasmine tea. If you like Gingerbread Muffins, you might consider my blend of the same name too!
I miss this tea, I wish that it were still available for purchase. The fujian jasmine pearl is basically the same thing, which is good, but for a lot more money.
Don't over load your tea! Phoenix Pearls are fantastic, beautiful to watch brew, and most importantly heavy, so don't use more then a tea-spoon per cup.
easily my favorite offering from Adagio yet. It is very expensive, however, so i usually just go for the #5 in it's stead.
It is very good. I drink it almost every morning.
By far the best jasmine tea I've ever tried. Has a great jasmine aroma and a smooth taste. Until I tried this tea I never really cared for jasmine teas but this is now one of my favorite teas.
I love to watch the pearls unfurl. I suppose because I love the flavor and the smell. And the taste is a reward on a winter afternoon.
Very nice flavor and aroma. My niece loves to watch the jasmine unfold.
Such a subtle and delicate flavor. Truly worth it!
Buttery smooth, sheer tea goodness. Probably my favorite tea of the teas Adagio carries.
The only jasmine tea I'll drink - simply the best, try it you won't be disappointed.
Amazing smell, but a bit perfumey. Luckily it doesn't taste how it smells-- just a great green tea.
Wonderful flavor. Purchased the teabags. Can be used for a couple of cups of tea no problem.
Worth every penny! A light jasmine taste. Just awesome.
