Simply the best jasmine tea out there. More expensive but worth the money.
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.

Simply the best jasmine tea out there. More expensive but worth the money.
An Emotional experience for the taste buds! The best jasmine tea I have ever tasted, and I have been a fan of jasmine for years.
It was indeed very flowery, as to be expected, but was not quite my (pardon the pun) cup of tea. I might try one of the cheaper ones just to see if a more subdued flavor will make me happy.
I love jasmine tea and this is no exception. I've had jasmine teas that taste very artificial and the tea used was a poor quality. This was not the case with this wonderful jasmine tea.
I thought this might be the oolong to convert me, but sorry, they're still not to my taste.
Very yummy, flowery, but expensive, don't over seep
An excellent example of a jasmine tea. I've tried most of the selection from here at Adagio, as well as a few from of the local teahouses. As far as I am concerned, this qualifies in the top rankings.
A fun tea! It was so much fun watching the leaves open up in the water. The flavor was good but not a favorite of mine.
Tasty, but has VERY strong flower flavor. I prefer to toss one or two blossoms in with a green tea instead of drinking this straight.
Decent Jasmine tea, although this one is very sensitive. Use very few pearls and do not steep for long or it takes on a very strong undesireable taste
The best of the Jasmine teas, flavor-wise, and aesthetically pleasing performance before the eyes!
I was a little dissapointed in this. It didn't have a very strong flavor. I think that if you really like jasmine, it would be perfect for you though.
WOW! This was the very first oolong tea that I have ever tried. First of all, the tea is breathtakingly beautiful to look at in the tin. It looks like little balls of yarn perfectly rolled up. The smell is AMAZING. Reminds me very much of the Jasmine my mother used to grow in the garden. The taste was equally wonderful, and all in all, it was a sublime experience drinking this tea. Very fun and relaxing to watch the little pearls unfurl. I don't care what the price is on this tea, it is worth it! Can't wait to enjoy this tea with my favorite Chinese food!
A perfect tea for relaxing moments. The floral flavour and scent are heavenly, but just be sure not to use too much! It only needs 5-7 pearls per mug. Fascinating to watch unfurl!
Excellent, high-quality tea. Jasmine flavor adds to the tea but isn't overpowering. Highly recommended.
One of my favorite jasmine's, but I'm not sure it is worth the extra $ over Jasmine #9.
This is one of the best teas that I've bought here. Not only does it taste wonderful (the jasmine is not overpowering) but it is beautiful to watch the pearls unfold.
I bought this tea simply for the novelty of the way the leaves are rolled into balls, but this is more than just a novelty. There is a great flavor to be had here, but only after you make a few mugs and work out just how you like to prepare it; it's a very picky tea when it comes to steeping time and amount of tea used.
Just not my cup of tea. I did share this one with a co-worker and she loved it.
Worth every penny. Go easy on the pearls per cup...I forgot that they bloom and went a little overboard but just ended up making two cups.
The jasmine smell is very strong in the tin, but it tones down nicely when brewed. Oolongs are not generally my thing, but if you enjoy oolong and jasmine, this is a good choice. Plus, it's fun to watch the pearls unfurl as the leaves brew.
Very expensive, but nice to purchase a sample or two for when you have guests over. I can't afford to have this be a daily cup, but it's nice for a treat.
I really love jasmine but I tend to avoid it because its strong fragrance triggers migraines. I was pleasantly suprised by this tea. It's delicately scented and the flavor is light but full-bodied, not overpowering.
The best jasmine on this site, and the most expensive. If you don't mind the price it is definately worth it.
Pleasantly surprised by this tea. The jasmine wasn't too strong & makes a great way to end the day.
My favorite tea, watching it unfurl is a treat, and it smells like flowers.
I was a little surprised with this tea. It had such good ratings but I found that the Jasmine #5 was much stronger than this tea.
I love this tea, by far my favorite! Will continue ordering
This was my first experience with Oolong tea and I chose it based on the good reviews. I always enjoy jasmine tea and this does not disappoint. What drew me to this tea was the little tea balls and watching them open up as they steep is pretty cool for a noob like me. Highly recommended.
super delicious! can be steeped more than once - i take it with me to the library on late nights.
If I could only drink one tea for the rest of my life, it would be this. It's a wonderful tea with a delightful jasmine flavor.
When I am in the mood for a lite oolong this tea does the trick and my coworkers are now liking it.
Not only was this a beautiful tea to look at, but the scent and flavor were a wonderful treat tonight. Light and floral, yet full bodied.
This tea smells so great! The flavor is mild and refreshing. My favorite Adagio tea so far.
I love watching this one unfold in my mug. Be careful opening the sample lid though... I got mine mostly on the floor. :(
I did not like this tea when I first got it, but it has grown on me. I have certainly had better jasmine teas, but this was not half bad.
i'm not really a fan of this jasmine tea. I prefer Adagio's rooibos jasmine. this tea is a bit too thin for my tastes
My all-time favorite tea- bar none! It has such a delicate flower smell and flavor if steeped just right, and not bitter at all. No sweetner needed in my opinion!
A very fine jasmine. I like a good one and this one is good!
I loved watching the tea unfurl! Although the end result quite reminded me of a pile of aliens, I think I just have an overreactive imagination. Deliciousness in a cup.
awesome strong taste. my favorite jasmine. has signature indescribable jasmine taste.
One of the most fragrant and reminiscing tea I've ever enjoyed. Reminds me everytime of my childhood when my dad used to brew up a cup to share with me on a cold morning. The lovely scent of Jasmine helps bring back those wonderful memories.
wow. this tea is beautiful. i had fun watching it brew as the leaves unfolded. as it brewed the leaves unfolded and it was a neat experience to watch. the leaves were green and the color of the tea was more like a green tea. so different from the chinese oolong teas i've had. as i sipped this for the first time, it was smooth and breathing in the scent of jasmine flowers while sipping was pure bliss. i forgot i was at work and had to remember to pay attention to my work...but this was something to treasure. it however doesn't go very well with floral perfume.
This is beautiful to look at and to drink. I'm glad I tried it.
This is the best Jasmine tea. It works well hot or cold and is really intriguing to watch unfold.
this is a good tea. it's gentle and mild, but tasty.
Pure and strong jasmine taste. I like to mix this with a peach flavored herbal tea for iced tea with a zing.
Amazing tea - Love to watch the pearls unfold in a glass cup. Delicate flavor - has a calming effect upon me
This is the first jasmine tea I have ever tried, and it is very good! Wasn't sure if I would like flowery teas but I like this one.
Very light, but good. I've had better oolong teas.
