Delightful with the jasmine providing the perfect addition. One of my absolute favorites for a relaxing evening.
Young and elegant tea leaf buds with a whisper of jasmine. All the appeal and softly sweet nuances of a classic Silver Needle, enhanced with the aroma of night-blooming jasmine flowers. Airy flavor, delicate mouthfeel and pleasantly dry finish.

Delightful with the jasmine providing the perfect addition. One of my absolute favorites for a relaxing evening.
Smooth and sweet, and an okay cup. I did get a few odd notes of bubblegum in it that did hinder the experience some.
This is a great tea. It has a light yellow color. It had a wonderful jasmine aroma and taste. I added honey that enhanced the flavor.
I am not a Jasmine fan but this tea was not real bad. Not one I would buy but I did drink it all. CT 9/30/2023.
Not a fan, it tastes like I am drinking melt chapsticks.
a nice light afternoon tea, jasmine flavor was on point and really added to the silver needle.
Soft and light, with delicate blooms of floral jasmine.
I wasn’t really in the mood for jasmine or white tea today, but this quickly won me over. I think this is my favorite jasmine tea now. Such a perfect balance! Steeped 3 mins @ 175°
A beautifully delicate jasmine tea. I wish there was more jasmine flavor, but it’s still a comforting sip.
‘24: still think I like a slightly bolder flavor but it does smell so
Good. A very light fresh springy tea on a cold day.
Wow this jasmine smells (and tastes) really good without being overpowering. I usually want a stronger tea than a white tea but I could see myself learning to really like this.
I love the jasmine blended with the white because it means I can have a lot of it without a ton of caffeine. This version is excellent; a great choice to have when you’re relaxing or working and want to drift off a few minutes and daydream to the scent.
I have always been a fan of Jasmine Phoenix Pearls and read a number of reviews of this tea where it was deemed a less desirable vehicle for jasmine. I loved this one, and although the green tea flavor works well with jasmine, I think this white tea is just as good, in a different way. I steeped it at 175 degrees for 3 minutes and got 2 wonderful cups. I might try for a third one later.
This is a really good tea but it is a little too floral for me. If you like Jasmine and floral teas, this is right up your alley! The Jasmine flavor takes over in this cup
Last September when I got this sample I said “The jasmine was too heavy for my taste. At first I liked it but after a few more sips it was overpowering.” I still feel that way. However I dumped about a cup of this brewed tea into two cups of my saggitarius and it is delicious!
I typically don't care for silver needle or white teas in general, but this one is well balanced with jasmine overtones making a nice light cup that I rather enjoyed.
I love floral teas and I love white tea, and I was not disappointed! A strong jasmine scent and taste on the start with the white tea flavor sliding in later. I brewed at 170*, so may be missing some complexities if I brewed it too cool.
This tea consists of beautiful needle leaves and brews a very light color. The fragrance of the brewing tea is lovely and detectable across the room. It is fragrant but not perfumy, with jasmine layered on a grounding background of peach and melon. Brewing at 2 grams per 8 oz, I did not find the floral notes overwhelming, unlike some competitor's jasmine silver needles. However, my husband's cup of the same brew was heavily floral and drowned out the white tea, so I believe that the tiny particles of tea which sifted through my fine strainer were enough to make the two portions unequal. Soft water brings out the underlying tea flavors, and cooling brings out more fragrance. A second brew is quite light, and brings a much more subtle jasmine flavor which is beautifully complimented by a tiny bit of orange blossom honey. A third brew of 5-6 minutes was still surprisingly pleasant, and that was where I noted the whisper of jasmine and delectably dry finish. Overall a lovely cup of tea, if one has time to sip mindfully.
Favorite white tea! Since I have to limit caffeine, I drink a lot of white tea. Jasmine Silver Needle gives me all the delicate flavor of a good quality white tea plus the jasmine flavor. This is a high quality white tea and I never tire of it.
Very subtle flavor with mild tones. Great adjunct to a normal black tea.
This has a strong jasmine smell when dried, but is is smooth and light when brewed. Perfect if you love a lighter jasmine or white tea.
It’s light and smooth, and like all silver needle have a buttery flavor, the jasmine is very aromatic and have a strong flavor too. I like it a lot. Hence the 5 stars. I have it without honey and it was great, then I have one cup with one tea spoon of honey and it seems to bring the flavor even more.
Great tea! Not aggressively floral, smells and tastes wonderful.
This silver needle tea is classy, with a smooth finish and a mild flavor. It lives up to the silver needle name and is perfect when you just want a simple, mellow cup of tea.
I'm so glad this tea is back in stock. I am loving it. I've been blending 80 percent with 20 percent White Symphony since it has enough jasmine taste to go around! :)
A calming and tasty tea. A lot of jasmine flavor but enjoyable.
The jasmine flavor shines nicely through this white tea. Great aroma.
This is a jasmine tea it great and smell good too, I sit and sip it and enjoy it.❤️
8 oz, 3 mins @ 180* F, hot with sweetener
Jasmine used to be my go to tea, but I've generally had green or black versions of jasmine. This is my first time with a white jasmine. The flavor was spot on, my only complaint is that white teas don't have the same full mouthfeel of their darker counterparts. However, if you prefer lighter teas, this one is truly remarkable.
Loved it! The jasmine flavor is a little more subtle - great for individuals that want try it out for the first time. I brewed it 175 F for 10 minutes. I usually enjoy green teas and I plan to buy more of this!
Not the best tea I have had. I am not a jasmine fan.
A solid and enjoyable jasmine tea. I drank every drop!
This white tea is very refreshing. The dry leaves have a fragrant and floral scent that, understandably, smells strongly of jasmine. The brewed tea is still fragrant and floral but not as intense as the dry leaves. The floral aroma is complemented by nutty tones that add depth. The taste of the tea is, unsurprisingly, light and refreshing. The jasmine adds a subtle floral flavor without overpowering the tea itself. Overall, the tea tastes very clean even with a touch of sweetener added to enhance the floral flavors. Despite being a light tea, it re-steeps well.
This was a delicious light tea with lots of jasmine flavor.
smelled way better than it tasted imo lmao, it was good tho! i love trying white teas - Lynn
Only reason why not 5 stars is because I'm not a fan of jasmine. That said, was very pleased by the quality of the jasmine as well as the blending. Sweet, not cloying; flower scent, not perfume-drenched. Feel I can gift this one with confidence.
Very strong floral jssmine flavor. Slightly dry and pretty smooth. More body than I expected from a white tea. It's a nice tea both hot and cold, but I am not much of a jasmine fan so it's not one I will repeat. (3 min @ 185)
This is a light, delicate jasmine tea. The scent is definitely stronger than the flavor, but fans of jasmine teas will love it!
This was a light and delicate Jasmine tea. The floral taste wasn't too perfume like or over powering.
A very soothing, subtle flavor. Very fragrant, but not overwhelming.
When I opened my CommuniTEA packet, I was met with lovely, floral aromas of jasmine. I steeped my tea for 3 minutes and it produced a pale yellow cup of tea. The flavor of this tea is delicate, but the jasmine flavor still came through. This is a delightful rendition of silver needle tea!
This is a nice cup of hot tea. The only thing about it is that there’s a little too much jasmine flavor for me. I brewed it at 180 for 3 minutes. I find that I prefer the plain Silver Needle tea but that’s just personal preference.
I love jasmine teas - the silver needles in this tea are such a nice smooth addition. Mmmmmm.
Tea perfection! The jasmine is so light and delicate; just enough floral. There
was a sweetness to it that made it even more delicious. White tea at its finest.
Wow. I usually hate Jasmine tea (back in the day there was a balance and now every tea manufacturer is making you get punched in the face with Jasmine) not this blend. Perfect amount of Jasmine even with over steeping. I recommend for all.
While this is a very pleasant jasmine tea, hubby and I prefer Jasmine Phoenix Pearls and Jasmine Yin Hao. The white tea does not do enough to support the jasmine. We both prefer the green tea base to complement the jasmine.
The smell and taste were very strong jasmine which I don't care for. I think it would be a great cup of tea for those who like jasmine.
Mmmmmmm. I love the smell of jasmine and this tea doesn't disappoint. I could just sit with this tea quietly all day relaxing. The delicate flavor is excellent and the silver needle is a very special treat. I will resteep this tea as many times as I can and savor the aroma, taste, and wonderful feeling it brings. Cheers!
It smells really pretty... like perfume. I don't want to drink perfume. Floral teas are never my thing, and jasmine teas are the most overwhelming to me. It's a high-quality tea, I just don't like it. Steeped 3 min @ 175ª.
Good for a jasmine tea as the jasmine is not too perfume like. Good but not as much a jasmine fan.
This may be my top Adagio fav...Jasmine Silver Needle. 🌸🪡 This beautiful tea...'Tis always needed, to be within my Tea cabinet. So soothing, delicate, Zen and transportative to ethereal realms, with just one sip. Imagine sitting amidst dewy Jasmine with floral aromatics wafting while Fae folk frolic..Positively Heavenly!
