Best jasmine tea ever. I really enjoy the flavour of this tea on cold evenings. It's comfort food without the calories.
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.

I can't say enough good things about this tea. Super!
This tea was absolutely amazing. It is somewhat expensive, but I will probably opt for a larger portion of it. The fragrance of this tea is an absolute slice of heaven, and it tastes just like it smells. I am a big fan, and I will continue to order this tea in the future.
Beautifully wonderful jasmine tea -- very fragrant! Due to the higer price, I save it only for special occasions, or to lift my spirits when I'm feeling especially down.
When you first open the tin, its like walking through the flowers! It smells great and it tastes great too. It has a strong floral taste. Its a bit expensive, but its worth the money.
A great tea to sit and watch steep - the unfurling balls look like they are alive moving in the water. A strong jasmine flower smell that brings up memories of spring forays into the woods back home. Even if I did not drink the tea, it is worth it to just hold a cup and smell the flowers.
Not the most potent jasmine pearls I've tried, but that's not a bad thing, since there are plenty potent enough. A lovely diversion from more traditional teas.
I can't get enough of this tea. It just smells and tastes so wonderful! It makes all other jasmine tea seem like cheap perfume in comparison.
My first experience with jasmine. This will not be my 'everyday' tea, but is nice for a change. If you enjoy the smell of jasmine, then you will love this tea. Watching the leaves unfurl is also very cool.
A fantastic and flavorfull jasimine tea. Looks awesome when the pearls unfurl too making this a decent display tea.
My favorite Oolong. Just the right amount of floral, but also a lot of tea flavor. Great all around.
A very high quality tea, adagio's jasmine #12 will not disappoint lovers of the flowers unique taste. And watching the pearls steep is nothing less than a joy!
Besides being fascinated by the way it looks, I usually drop a bud or two into all my cups.
Very pretty I must say. This is better than #5 and the rooibos jasmine, not perfumey at all. Not sure if I'll order more though b/c it's pricey.
This has a great aroma to it. I would recommend it if you like tea. Although you may want to add twice the desired amount for more flavor.
A very aromatic tea. My current favorite tea of all the Adagios I own.
This is now my favorite tea. I'm completely and totally addicted to the scent of the leaves as the little balss unfurl; amazing.
There's something mesmerizing about watching the leaves unfold as they steep. Almost as pretty as watching a display tea unfurl.
Very good, but I prefer it added to other teas to add a floral note, rather than by itself. Lovely added to a blend of Earl Grey Bravo and Irish Breakfast.
It's good if you enjoy jasmine teas, otherwise you may fine the jasmine aroma overwhelming.
My 1st experience into the oolong, not a bad one at ALL!
My absolute favorite tea. Not only is it a display tea, what with watching those little buds unfurl, it is also tastes wonderful. Would and will get it again.
I absolutley love this tea! I would have to say that this is my favorite tea from Adagio. Wonderful jasmine flavor!
I enjoyed this one very much. It had a strong floral taste, which I liked! Goes great with some honey.
Nice jasmine flavor, not overpowering though. Very interesting to see the buds unfurl.
I love jasmine tea, and the jasmine #12 was definitely a good purchase. Beautifully scented as all jasmines are, the taste of it carries more of the quality than a lot of jasmine teas I've tried.
While I can't argue that this tea is not good, I actually prefer the taste of the much cheaper jasmine #5.
This is a very refreshing blend that's very enjoyable and worth trying.
Sooo Expensive. Soooo worth it. Be careful if you sample this, you will end up spending $50 on the 16 oz. bag!
This tea reminds me of honeysuckles. The aroma takes me back to my happy place.
I love watching the leaves unfurl, and the taste is great!
Very light tea with a strong flowery taste. A little goes a long way.
The perfect jasmine tea. Makes a great cup, fun to watch brewing, too!
Pure Heaven! This is by far the best tea from Adagio.
Hmmm. How many of these balls to use??? 15 in a 12 ounce tea cup seems about right. Very nice flavor.
My favorite oolong tea. Very fragrant. Great hot or iced
The jasmine scent and flavor of this tea was too strong for me. I'm not a big fan of oolongs in general, but I decided to try a sample of this, since it got good ratings. It did not win me over . (However, I had fun watching it infuse)
I expected the more expensive jasmine tea to be the one I liked the best, but I was surprised that #9, to me, was the tastiest!
Nice aroma, brewed lightly with less tea, the taste is not too over powering.
great tea, couldnt get enough of this one. will order more
this tea tastes and smells great. it's exactly what i was looking. it does deserve its high price and high score.
Absolutely the best jasmine I've ever tasted - smooth as silk, and watching the pearls unfurl is a visual treat as well. Heavy perfume, so if you don't like that kind of thing, you might find it a bit much. But if you're a jasmine lover, this is worth every penny.
This is a very unique tea. The first time I brewed this, I hated it. Watching the buds flower inside my IngenuiTea was enjoyable, but I recall the tea, itself, smelt and tasted like socks. After a few more times, I really began to appreciate the taste. Maybe I never had a taste for jasmine, but now I'm a believer.
Love the aroma very flavorful, cute little pearls, enjoy watching them open. Would buy again.
Tea perfection. The second brew is nearly as good as first. Jasmine flavor is well balanced
This is the finest tea produced. The exquisite flavor is smooth as silk. I used to drink a variety of teas. But now I'm hooked on #12.
This tea is light and kind of sweet/flowery(?). I love love loooove the aroma~!! But some (my mother for example) may find the jasmine scent a bit too strong.
My husband loves this tea - it really does smell of jasmine.
Jasmine #12 has a very flowery taste to it. Would be good for special occasions. And it is cool to watch the jasmine unfold in the water.
Just a beautiful flavor. I had the jasmine iced tea and was floored. nothing like i had expected so i thought i'd make it for myself. the pearls are cool and the flavor is unique but wonderful.
