A classic jasmine tea from Fujian, China, infused with the delicate scent of night-blooming jasmine flowers. Sweet perfumy cup, notes of warmed sugar, slightly toasty like a fresh biscuit. Light, refreshing and not overwhelmingly floral.

I have also tried the site's more expensive Jasmine Yin Hao tea, and if you are on a budget, this is a valid cheaper alternative! The flavor is not as delicate, but it is still a floral and very pleasant tea. It has more of a smoky vegetal flavor, and the green tea is a bit more in-your-face than the more delicate jasmine options. A really nice every day tea.
I love jasmine teas and this one has a relatively strong flavor. I often add a less expensive green to the steep and get a lovely brew flavor. You can buy the sample pack and have it go a long way then. It also holds up nicely to a second cold brew. I tend to take my hot freshly brewed leaves in the strainer and put them in a cup of cold water and let them go for about 6-8 hours. The second batch is more subtle but yummy. Nice for an afternoon tea.
Good basic jasmine green tea. I cold brew mine so it doesn’t have any bitterness, just strong jasmine green tea flavor.
Delicious and a less expensive alternative to the Jasmine Yin Hao with possibly and even stronger jasmine flavor. Not as complex as the Yin Hao, but wonderful all the same
liked this tea a lot , before brewing fragrance is somewhat strong of jasmine
This has been quite the hit. This is my go to tea at work. Great substitute for coffee, with less caffeine. This is my favorite!
I truly enjoy this delicate tea. I love the aroma, its not over powering and I think it is just a nice flavorful spring time go to for me.
As Jasmine Teas go, this one is nice, and also affordable. It has a wonderful floral quality.
Standard fare jasmine tea. I seem to have a penchant for burning it though and making it bitter
Great value for Jasmine tea. Surprisingly good on second steeping, even with ice!
I adored this! Quickly has become one of my favorite jasmine teas
Delicately sweet and flowery with a satisfying grassy quality.
I've only ever been able to find jasmine tea at Trader Joe's, so I was very excited to find this. It's light and floral, perfect for a pick-me-up or to relax.
This is one of my favorite teas! Good flavor and wonderful smell. Even if I brew it too strong it tastes good, which is often in my case.
On the lower end of jasmine teas, still decent, but I think I've been spoiled by higher quality (and more expensive) varieties.
Not bad, but not as good as the Jasmine Yin Hao. There is some bitterness in this tea that I don t love. Also seems less flavorful than the Jasmine Yin Hao (but maybe that s because the bitterness masks some of the good flavor?) I will be sticking with the Jasmine Yin Hao.
I love a good jasmine tea and this is it! It must be brewed properly, though.
I love jasmine teas, this was ok. I think I prefer Jasmine Yin Hao as it has a softer taste than this one.
This was a very good jasmine tea, steeped at the recommended 180 degrees for 3 minutes the green tea and perfume-y jasmine went really well together.
I couldn't drink it with the CommuniTEA. Overwhelmingly powerful jasmine scent and my brain said BATH BOMB so that was all that I could taste.
Almost overwhelming jasmine smell, I make soap and Jasmine is one of my favorite and my brain almost couldn't handle the connection.
It had lovely flavor and was very smooth, but mentally it is a no for me :(
Wonderful jasmine scent. Maybe a tad on the bitter green tea side. Steeped for 3 minutes
A pretty ok tea. Not super strong. Would recommend increasing the water to leaf ratio for strength. 180F at 3 min. No bitterness. Comparable to grocery store tea? Maybe I am just not a huge jasmine fan
I note a grassy scent when I open the CommuniTEA packet and I am expecting to not like this tea. I brew on the green tea setting of my VelociTEA, which is 165 F, for 3 min. I added 1/2 tsp of Monk fruit sweetener. The grassiness was too much for me to enjoy it. I was in a rush so I really did not have the time to fully appreciate the tea while hot in all honesty. I left 1/2 cup which I drank cold later that night. I enjoyed the cup cold much better. I did a second steep and now could really appreciate the floral notes. I still would not purchase this though.
I received this tea as part of the CommuniTEA box. However, as it isn't a blend, I feel as though my review will be fairly solid regardless. There's not six different ingredients that need to be mixed into a single teaspoon of tea. Alright, onto the review.
Upon opening the tea, the leaves look like your fairly standard loose-leave green tea. Some of the leaves are a bit more crushed than others, but they aren't rolled into small balls or something along those lines. The most striking aspect of the tea, however, is the overwhelming floral scent. This tea smells overwhelmingly of jasmine flowers, leaving me quite intrigued as to how it will taste. One of my favorite tea blends incorporates a jasmine tea, but it doesn't have nearly this scent of the flowers.
I brewed the tea at about 165-170 or so (whatever comes out of my coffee maker, as I don't trust me trying to guess with the stove top or my electric kettle) for about 3 and a half minutes. What resulted was a yellow-green tea that smelled just as much of flowers as the dried leaves, if not more so. In fact, my mother laughed by acting as though it was perfume to put on her wrist (her favorite perfume is jasmine perfume). The taste is subsequently extremely floral, with some grassier/green notes usual to green tea. The tea was good, though. No astringency or bitterness, and I felt absolutely no need for sugar or milk in it at all. I suppose I could have, just to see how it would taste, but I just enjoyed the tea itself.
I brewed a second cup at about the same temperature, though I brewed it for about 4 minutes instead. While the tea shown through more, the floral tones were still just as strong. Really, the second cup was just as amazing as the first, and I was quite disappointed as I had already thrown the leaves away, or else I would have tried a third cup.
Overall, this was a wonderful tea that I enjoyed, and I might just have to buy some myself, though it's definitely an unusual tea, at least for the flavors usually enjoyed in my house. My mother hates it (floral-scented teas bring back a sense memory of her being very sick when she was young and having to take a flowery medicine), but I enjoyed it. If floral tastes are something you enjoy, this would be a good tea to partake in.
This tea had a super gentle floral taste! Not at all perfume-y, and I thought it was great without any sugar. 175F for 4 minutes.
Not really a tea I enjoyed drinking. I guess it's an acquired taste, but it's to much of a perfume taste.
Very fragant tea. Steeps to a pale golden color. Mild, smooth, with a subtle sweetness. No grassiness or bitterness noted when steeped at a lower than recommended temperature. Good with 1/2 teaspoon of honey. This tea can be steeped multiple times, although the jasmine flavor weakens with each steeping. 160°F x 2 minutes.
This one was pretty meh, but I'm not a huge Jasmine fan so take that for what it's worth. Brewed at 180°F for 2.5 minutes. If you like jasmine green tea, give this one a try.
I was prepared to hate this as I generally strongly dislike green tea, but I was completely shocked to find this delightful. It smelled very floral from the first sip of the first steep all the way to the last sip of the 3rd steep, but the flavor was light and comforting. The second steep was slightly more grassy than the first, but it was a tolerable, even pleasant, level of 'green.' The third steep was pretty weak, but I still drank it and enjoyed it. I will be adding this to the tea cabinet very soon. (reviewed through CommuniTEA; 2 min each steep @ 180F)
My CommuniTEA packet today smelled floral and reminds me of springtime. I steeped for 2 minutes and there was no grassy taste. When brewed, the smell is delightfully jasmine. This was my first time trying a jasmine tea so I don't have anything to compare it to, but the floral taste seems about right. It was alright both plain and with a tiny bit of sugar. I resteeped for 4 minutes and it had the same flavor but weaker. This was a pleasant light floral tea.
If you like strong floral teas you will love this. However, I prefer any floral in my teas to be delicate and understated
Giving 1 star was being gracious. This was horrible. No other words to explain. It was like drinking sea water.
180 degrees for 2 minutes. Jasmine tea from the Fujian province of China. Very floral with a light toasted scent and aftertaste, and not grassy. If you like jasmine tea, this one is confidently, even boldly, jasmine!
This tea has such a beautiful, floral scent! However, I prefer to smell my flowers, not drink them. I don't mind light floral notes, or florals in blends, but I'm not a fan of the stronger ones or single note florals.
The second steep was a bit weaker - and a bit more to my taste. There was a distinct astringency to both steeps that I tried to sway with sugar.
In the end I think I got more enjoyment out of simply smelling the tea than drinking it.
Omg this smells like Easter! The taste is not nearly as floral as the smell, so I inhaled through my nose with each sip to get the maximum floral experience. I will be ordering this to enjoy on spring mornings.
I actually don't mind jasmine green tea normally, but this tea is very overpoweringly floral. And that wouldn't have been a deal breaker except for the fact that this particular Jasmine flavor/aroma reminds me of a shoe store - like rubber or chemicals or something. I always forget how sensitive Adagio greens are to oversteeping, so it was very bitter also. The second steep was better but didn't improve the flavor.
almost dumped it out as it taste like potpourri. as a side note i love green freshly mowed grass like green teas, but this is not grassy, it tastes more like a yankee candle in liquid form.
Have you ever gotten a mouthful of someone else's perfume when they walked by? That's what this tea smelled and tasted like to me. There was a strong floral nose upon opening the CommuniTEA packet which became even stronger once steeped. Surprisingly the first flavor when sipped is smooth and pleasant, but the aftertaste comes on strong as a mouthful of jasmine perfume. I'm glad to have tried it, but Jasmine is not for me!
The description of perfumy is very accurate. The Jasmine flavor is very prominent. Unfortunately its just not my preferred taste for a tea.
Part of the February 2021 CommuniTEA box. This is a very nostalgic flavor for me - I always got jasmine tea at one of my favorite Asian restaurants. This tea makes me want some TomKha soup and sushi!
This tea is like walking through a jasmine garden. The color is a light green, the smell is true to jasmine flowers, and the taste is like the flowers are melting in your mouth. The floral taste is light at first then hits with a powerful bitter flower taste in the middle of the tongue. I have allergies to pollen and ripe fruits/vegetables so this made my throat mildly itchy. Not a tea I would order again due to my allergies but a great representation of a pure jasmine tea.
Out of the bag it smelled like perfume, which is a bit overwhelming. The taste is very floral.
Sadly, this was not my 'cup of tea'. A bit too floral for my taste and too bitter. Tried brewing at 180 for 3 minutes but still biting. The 2nd steep was not as flowery but still astringent. Still, it's been good with Communitea to narrow down which teas I prefer and which are not to my liking.
Holy cow. I don't know how I was able to bring myself to even try to drink this. I couldn't get past the aroma of Desitin diapier rash ointment (do they still make that? My youngest is 28-1/2 years old) both when dry in the CommuniTea packet, or wet while steeping. Imagine my revulsion when I discovered it tasted like that smelled, too, or maybe like you're drinking a liquid flower. This is far, far too perfume-y. It might be good for bees, but not for people.
I love the scent of jasmine! This smelled and tasted wonderful.
Sad to say I'm not a fan. This is extremely perfumy and the overwhelming floral is too much.
Very strong jasmine scent. Really too perfumery for me
I like me a strong jasmine tea! I really liked this ons as part of my communitea. Crisp golden when brewed, heavy on jasmine aroma and delightful on my palate...definitely buying this tea in a larger quantity. Steeped it for 3 mins at 175-180. Resteeped for 5 mins at 170.
Brewed my communiTEA sample gong fu style. Very strong floral aromas were noticeable immediately after opening the packet. The first couple of steepings were extremely floral and slightly grassy. The later steepings were more balanced and while still floral had sweet notes. The tea is slightly astringent and drying. Examining the leaves after brewing revealed broken/torn medium leaves (nothing whole). I enjoyed the sample but would not purchase this for myself.
