A bit too over the top 'perfumey' for me, but my better half loved it. And yes, it *is* fun watching the leaves unfurl.
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.

The little pearls are intriguing and the tea is a delicious jasmine.
This Jasmine dragon phoenix pearl tea is exotic, fun, and highly enjoyable. It provided the rich, fulfilling scent and flavor of high-quality Night Blooming Jasmine. Exquisite. Will order again when I can afford it.
This was too flowery for me, but my wife loved it. We can't wait for our bloom display tea for her.
Worth every penny!! Smells divine! Tastes even better!!
Fragrant and interesting. Beautiful color in the cup and fills the house with the smell of jasmine. Not giving a 'Great' review as it just wasn't a WOW factor for us.
So far this is the best tea I have tasted from here. I am still playing with strength, so I am sure I will be needing to order more soon. My only gripe is that it is so expensive, but that is completely understandable due to it's quality and ornate nature. Make sure if you are ordering at least a sample of this with any order.
Wonderful if you can afford it. It makes a great tea to serve to non tea-connoisseur friends because of how beautifully it unfurls (not to mention how good it tastes).
A truely fantastic tea. I love this one. I think it's my favorite. It might be a little bit pricey, but it's totally worth it. Heck, it's worth it for the aroma alone. Start to finish, an amazing drink.
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I like this tea. The flavor is lightly perfumed and a bit of honey makes it a lovely treat. Would certainly buy again!
I really liked the smell and taste of the jasmine. It is also strong enough to mix with other teas I have and still taste the jasmine.
Jasmin tea is not only visually stunning, it smells and tastes great too.
A very pleasant, light bodied tea with beatiful jasmine scent and taste.
I love this jasmine tea. It has a subtle flavor and lovely aroma.
Who could resist the cute little balls of jasmine tea? And it tastes and smells delicious! It's delicate, but still flavorful.
One of my favorite teas. Lovely floral fragrance plus it's good at any time of the day. Also fun to watch the pearls unfurl in the cup - relaxing.
Good but best used as a mixer. If was too flowery for me on it's own. However, mixed with berry blues or rooibos, it was tasty. I didn't like either the rooibos or jasmine sample by themselves. When mixed, however, I enjoyed the tea very much.
The best tea i have ever had. This is by far the most supurb jasmine tea we have ever had in our home. A smooth and intoxicating jasmine aroma. Perfect.
A lovely tea, exquisitely scented. A great mid-afternoon getaway!
We tried this sample and promptly ordered a larger tin of the stuff. A real luxury for us, my fiance is crazy about it.
Very floral and fun to watch, but I think I like Jasmine #5 better.
pricy but good. a slighly sweet taste, but very delicate. you need big scoop of these leaves to make a tea with a heavier flavor. Not so great b/c of the price
I was delighted to find this tea - a friend let me sample a similar tea she had found in China and this one is almost identical. The fragrant scent and subtle flavor are just wonderful.
Probably my most favorite tea for relaxing. One small cup does the trick after a stressful day. I've ordered the tea bags for use at work.
I really enjoyed this tea. It is so enjoyable to watch the little 'pearls' uncurl. The fragrance is so sweet and the taste is divine.
I was going to mark this as great, but by itself it is not in my opinion. I do no drink this alone but rather put a few pearls in with other oolongs or with ceylon teas
This is a very light tea with a heavy jasmine aroma that is just so relaxing.
I've been searching for a quality jasmine tea for some time, this is it! Delicious flavor and fragrance, the tea never gets bitter. Amazing tea, good hot or iced. Deffinately worth the price.
Very nice flavor. It's not too strong, but enough to make a positive impression.
This has to be one of my favorites! I have had the jasmine pearl green tea before but I must say that the oolong beats it. The flowery taste is very nice and relaxing and is just as delicious when re-steeping it again.
Jasmine tea is very bitter and has a very strong perfume odor. If you are put off by bitter flavors, then you might want to avoid the jasmine tea. If not--try it iced! It's a perfect companion for some time on the front porch.
This tea is amazing, and it tastes as good as it smells. I usually drink flavored tea, heavily sweetened at that, and I drink this tea straight, which is unusual for me.
this tea is so good, it is very fragrant and the flavor is very nice, we love it!
very calming flavor. I loved every drop of this tea. It's really something to always have stock of since you'll get the jasmine crave every now and then. At any time, though, it's a great tea.
My favorite tea ever (at least so far). I prefer this oolong pearl ovr all of the other green jasmine pearls I have found. It has a slightly stronger flavor that stands up through the multiple infusions.
The firt time I tried this I did not enjoy it at all but the second time I had aquired a tast for it. It was much better after it cooled and I had gotten used to the flowery aroma.
Great tea! Be careful not to brew to long though it can get bitter.
The tiny pearls are fun to watch as they unfurl and permeate the water with the rich fragrance of jasmine. I really enjoy this tea after dinner. It tastes as good as it smells!
This is a very pretty and tasty tea. Great way to introduce yourself to the milder teas.
A nice jasmine oolong/green tea. A good mix between tea flavor and jasmine flavor.
Quality product. Have sampled many jasmines and Adagio is up at the top. Will try some of the other jasmines!
The flower flavour is too overpowering in this tea. The only good part is that it's a lot of fun to watch the leaves unfurl.
Absolutely wonderful tea. Strong jasmine taste, no bitterness at all. Can be served either hot or cold, and very refreshing for the summer.
This is the finest jasmine tea I have ever tasted! I loved the design of the bud as it opened with hot water. It releases a lovely fragrance and is very relaxing. It's so good I'm trying not to drink it too much so I can save it! The cost is worth the taste of this jasmine tea.
It's a calming tea. Use only a few buds (4-5) per cup, or the flower taste becomes overwhelming.
This is like drinking Beauty itself! The aroma of night-blooming jasmine gently greets your senses. And the tea is soft and calming. As it cools, the taste gets even better. I keep a small bottle filled with Jasmine 12 to soothe my voice when singing.
The fragrance of this one is only seconded by the light, floral taste. Truly an excellent tea, and well worth the price.
This is heaven in a tea cup. The fragrance alone is worth the cost. And the taste is to die for. An expensive tea, to be sure, but it is excellent. Rich but not overpowering jasmine flavor.
This tea is awesome. I mean just worth the money. The price and taste are unbeatable for this very high quality tea.
What a delightful cup of tea. A refreshing different experience that was a delight
