Jasmine Silver Needle Customer Reviews

Jasmine teas are one of my favorite things (it was a Jasmine green from Teavana that got me started on loose leaf teas a few years ago) so I gave the jasmine sampler a try. Everything in it was good, but this one was just outstanding and I hadn't even finished my first cup before I knew I'd have to order more. The white tea is a little milder than the greens that I usually prefer, and the jasmine aroma is so relaxing, while the taste of it blends just right with the tea, not too overpowering. Low caffeine means I can drink it all through the day, and the leaves hold up well enough to resteeping that I can get two or three cups out of it each time.

Ordered this because my sister really wanted to try it. I'm not a huge jasmine fan, but this was surprisingly good. Not as good as jasmine pearls according to my sister, but not far behind.

Great jasmine flavor that doesn't get bitter. Great flavor and healthy too! I like this one even better than the jasmine green tea

Another great tea. Silver needle with jasmine is calming and relaxing. This is my go to tea after a stressful day at work. It's so smooth and calming. Love it.

Just tried for the first time and it is love at first taste. I recommend letting it steep a bit longer for a stronger, fuller taste.

This makes a nice cup of tea, but find that I am liking the black dragon pearls better.

I am not any kind of tea expert so am just expressing my personal opinion.

Delicate jasmine. I prefer this over the jasmine green tea.

I love white tea and adagio's tea really met my expectations.

I guess I'm not quite used to the earthy teas, because I dunno, I guess this was just kind of weird for me. Maybe I didn't add enough tea leaves, because it was a very weak brew. I feel like maybe this tea is more for those with an acquired taste, so maybe I'll come back to it some other time.

I followed the directions, except I think my water is a bit hotter. I love the jasmine teas. Pheonix Jasmine is awesome also. This for a little less expensive compares wells.

Light and fragrant - very strong Jasmine flavor (good or bad depending on whether you like that!)

This is a very fragrant, smooth, delicate tea. It was delicious, and I plan to order again!

I really like this white tea. It has a nice taste of jasmine for you taste buds.

Amazing, incredible tea that has a flavor unlike anything else. The jasmine is seriously noticeable and makes the whole experience. Very relaxing with its low caffeine level and is definitely the royaltea of white tea. Must buy if you can afford.

I bought one little sample of this and it made a whole gallon for me and I drank it all in just a couple days. Not bad at all for my first white tea!

Wonderful light tea with fantastic jasmine scent and taste.

I got this because it was one of the higher rated white teas. So far the reviews have been accurate.

A light and flavorful Jasmine tea. I'm a big fan of jasmine and this tea carries a very rounded and flowery flavor.

I call this the 'Mommy Needs to Calm Down' tea. Ha. We go through it pretty quickly...

(The second steeping is also delicious, which is helpful when considering price.)

Jasmine tea is such a comfort to me. When I figure out how to make it right, I don't even need to alter it with sweetener.

It's really hard to taste this.. I still can't tell what 'silver needle' tastes like.
*Update after 6 months*: This tea gets better and better as you notice the subtlety in the taste. I take back my old review.

This was really delicious, not too strong and bitter, but not too light with flavor either. It was a perfect blend of tea.

I call this tea Liquid Relaxation. I've heard a debate as to whether white tea has high caffeine content or not, but regardless, I enjoy this tea in the evening--it's calming to me. Despite it being expensive, it is without a doubt, my favorite tea. This is a delicate tea, so pay attention to steeping time and temperature (I usually bring the water to 180 deg f when pouring into a room temp steeper so that the steeping temp is around 170-175). My favorite prep is 1 tsp of German rock sugar with 32oz. The slight sweet really brings out the Jasmine. I've prepped with the same amount of honey, but find that the honey has too strong of a flavor and it can cloud the delicate notes of this tea.

Love this tea! It is definitely my new favorite! I brewed it according to the instructions. I will most certainly be purchasing again!

Awesome tea! Very aromatic. You can strongly smell the jasmine in this, and taste it as well. The aftertaste is slightly dry, but overall it is a smooth tea and too overpowering. I personally love floral teas, because the smell is part of the experience, so this is definitely a god choice if you are of the same mindset!

loved this one, light and full of flavor but not overwhelming.

I am usually not a huge fan of white teas, but this one was fragrant and perfect for sipping at the office.

Lovely - floral, slightly sweet, easy to prepare. A really enjoyable cup of tea that can be re-steeped 3 or four times.

nice jasmine white- don't over steep, it gets bitter

The floral fragrance in this tea is blissful. It is a nice cup to enjoy in the evening as we are settling down for the night.

My favorite tea by far! Very aromatic and relaxing.

I was ready to try white tea for the first time after being a pretty stanch and dedicated black tea drinker. I have yet to develop a palette for green tea and often hear the same said of others for white, but they're so good for you! So I picked this tea based off of the high ratings. After finishing my sample size, I can say this tea is a decent tea for a novice drinker like myself. Do I love it like black tea? No, not yet. I find it very floral, perhaps a touch bitter for my taste despite following steeping instructions and a small spoon of honey, and it leaves a lingering bitterness in my mouth--not overly strong, but enough that I notice it. I think I'll try some white tea with fruity notes and see if it softens for me. My perfect white tea is out there, but I have not yet discovered it.

Very fragrant jasmine tea. Its light on the palate yet quite refreshing!

Wow, I love this one. It is more expensive, but sometimes you get what you pay for!

I love this tea. It is one of the best I have tasted. Its strong but not too strong.

Will never be without a supply of this tea. One I use in savory cooking as a broth or poaching liquid so if you are trying to enrich a dish and you are vegan or cooking for one, try this or you favorite jasmine tea.

rich flavor while still being light. Make sure to put water on lowest level.

I've had silver needle before but it was mediocre compared to this. It's a floral light tea that I mostly enjoy with a touch of honey, while I enjoy other whites and jasmine infused teas a bit more, I would still recommend trying this tea.

Fresh silver needle tea. A great staple to have around.

Very flowery taste, which I enjoy. Green teas are always more difficult to brew because it's hard to get the right temperature--but this one seems to taste good as long as it's not steeped too long.

This tea is so delicious! This has a great Jasmine scent and light white tea! Perfect combo!

enjoying this delicious blend at the moment. It has a sweet and calming flavor to it. I love jasmine teas, and this is in my absolute favorite. It's my bedtime tea, and combined with some valerian root to help with my anxiety and insomnia, it helps me fall asleep. I highly recommend this tea. It's the best.

Really a breathtaking tea! Even the scent of it alone is amazing. The jasmine flavor is delightful, and it balances nicely with the subtler notes of the white tea without ever overpowering it. Even unsweetened, it's a total pleasure to drink. And you can steep it over and over again with few discernible losses in the vividness of the taste. I'll definitely want more!

What a beautiful jasmine green tea! So floral and fragrant, this one is definitely on of my favorites.

Such a wonderful tea! I made this iced and mixed it with lychee juice. So refreshing and tasty. It's lovely and aromatic on its own, as well.

Not my favorite but still great cup of tea. Smooth with a light hint of jasmine.

im a huge fan of green tea jasmine pearls and this is so good !! I love it and will probably buy some more soon

One of my all-time favorites! Perfect for a bright, spring morning (or anytime you want to pretend it's a bright, spring morning). The floral aspect is very strong, but not so much that it overpowers the flavor of the tea leaves. Very delicate, well-balanced, and refreshing!

The jasmine is very powerful. I like a touch more subtle taste, so I use a small teaspoon and only steep it for 4-5 minutes. If you're not sure if you like jasmine you may not to get a sample first. White tea is very good for you so I will continue to get this one.
