beautiful fragrance and wonderful taste, this taste although a little pricy, it worth it
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.

beautiful fragrance and wonderful taste, this taste although a little pricy, it worth it
As a general rule, I don't like jasmine. But I love this tea so much. The jasmine isn't perfumey. It's just lovely and floral. It compliments the silver needle so well. I think I might like it better than the regular silver needle. It's smooth and wonderful.
I was rather disappointed with this tea. Maybe I brewed it wrong, maybe it needs something added to it to make it better, I don't know. Despite brewing it lightly due to liking white teas to be rather delicate, it came out tasting as if I'd let it sit stagnant for hours. It was very bitter and hard to choke down. I imagine I hardly drank half a cup before giving up on that brew. I haven't tried it again since then, and still am uncertain as to why it came out so poorly for me.
I love jasmine tea and this did not let me down! It is more delicate than I expected but overall very pleasant.
Really enjoyed this tea, but it was even better when blended with the jasmine pearls. Great taste and does well hot or on ice.
I've been drinking Jasmine Pearls (green tea) for years, but it becomes bitter if over-steeped. Jasmine Silver Needle is now my preferred jasmine tea. Smooth, delicate flavor with enough jasmine to satisfy the senses, and over-steeping is not an issue as it doesn't become bitter like green tea.
I love this tea. It holds up well hot and cold (I take mine without ice, because I'm weird.) It has a wonderful jasmine smell and a good delicate flavor. I'll be ordering more when I run out!
Absolutely delightful. Sweet, savory, subtle, and just the right concentration of jasmine fragrance. One of my favorite teas, very well done.
This was a very nice jasmine tea. I like mine a little stronger though.
The floral fragrance is high, and taste mellow. Well worth trying.
Wonderful, wonderful tea. Full-bodied and very 'leafy' without tasting like licking a lawnmower blade.
If there are two teas that I love, it is Jasmine Pearls and Silver Needle White. This tea is a beautiful combination of the two!
This tea didn't impress me too much. It has a light jasmine flavor that was a bit too mild. If you like white tea and just a hint of jasmine, you might like this one.
I cannot express how much I love this tea. It has a very light infusion and scent. Though I drink the Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls from Teavana every night, I'll sometimes substitute for this one. I like that it is a white tea instead of a green. I also like that it is less expensive than the Teavana Jasmine Silver Needle, though Teavana's is higher quality. I'd still pick Adagio's over it, just based on price.
I'm starting to get the feeling that I'm not a big fan of white teas. Despite my thoughts on white teas, this particular white tea is very nice and calm. It has a nice jasmine flavor. Sweet and floral without being overpowering or too delicate. The aftertaste is very jasminy. Overall it's a mellow tea that needs no help from sugar or honey.
somewhat new to tea, and to Jasmine, I'm afraid after having this I won't want to try other Jasmines. Fantastic
Loved this tea, it makes a light but flavorful cup! Cheers!
Oh wow this was amazing. Tried the Jasmine phoenix pearls and found it overpowering. But this was the perfect amount of Jasmine. And the smell is incredible.
If you've had a jasmine tea before you know what this is. It's a white needle tea so it's going to be a little weaker than the others.
I have tried several different jasmine teas, both here and elsewhere, and the Jasmine Silver Needle has been my favorite so far. When made correctly it is smooth, with a *very* subtle fruitiness. The jasmine scent/flavor is lovely.
Had this at the tasting I had and loved it. Had to buy!
Tea had a really good sweet and earthy taste to it would buy it again
perfect! perfect! perfect! jasmine is a beautiful and flawless flavor and it makes a great pair with silver needle
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jasmine teas, and Jasmine Silver Needle is of an excellent quality. Delicate and aromatic, I love it!
Super smooth and light. It tasted like nothing I have ever tasted.
This is one of my favorite white teas, leaves with a pleasant light mouthfeel and smells of floral honey suckles. This reminds me of the area in West Virginia I used to spend nights as a young adult, the entire area smelled of honey suckles, and this really takes me back to those times. quite amazing
We keep this as a special treat due to the cost. This is a WOW! tea.
I am in love with anything jasmine from Adagio. If you like jasmine, this is a great white tea variety of it. Definitely recommend.
This is a great tea, with a subtle flavor and beautiful color! Highly recommended!
Very nice white tea, light, very lovely jasmine. Not quite as smooth as a green jasmine to my surprise, but still very good.
Love this tea...I love jasmine. Reminds me of our time in China.
A nice light tea if you don't overbrew. I have a really bad habit of over steeping all my teas, but this one is critical not to make that mistake with.
The refreshing tea has a delightful aroma. I enjoy it hot and iced.
Oh my, I am addicted! The aroma as I opened the package was heavenly. It was everything that Silver Needle is with the added flavor and aroma of jasmine. I was so sad to see my sample package empty so fast. I will buy this again, this time in a much larger package!
This tea is very delicate. I'm not used to drinking white tea and I don't think I like it enough to get used to it.
It actually smells like a fresh garden of honeysuckle flowers when you open the bag. But, it is too sweet-tasting for me, so I will not be buying this one again. I may have oversteeped the last couple of times and it became quite bitter, I could not even drink it. This tea is much too sweet and floral for me, my least favorite of my samples.
I really like jasmine teas and this is no exception. love it
One of my favorite teas for me to turn to when I'm stressed and need a nice dose of calming hot tea. Very delicate and smooth--a great first experience with silver needle tea.
It's a good mix of jasmine and white tea. The jasmine isn't too overpowering, which is good. It tastes like a hot tea you'd typically be served at an Asian restuarant.
Aromatic and relaxed, this tea is certain to be a good 'gateway' white tea for green drinkers. Jasmine silver needle has a smart, clean finish.
If you like jasmine, it is probably good. I don't even know what jasmine is, but I love the silver needle plain, and when the jasmine is added to the smell it is very off putting for me. That smell doesn't come through very strong in the taste though, which is a bonus.
What a healthy, delicious, mellow, fragrant and relaxing tea!
Very floral tasting white tea, risks being a bit bitter. Not my favorite. I look forward to trying the regular silver needle.
Not as intense a flavor as phoenix pearls, but not bad
I don't usually enjoy jasmine tea, but this one is very good.
So yummy! A bit pricey, but worth it to me. I normally like black tea, but when I'm in the mood for something fresh, this is delicious. I'll be keeping this in stock on a regular basis.
I love Jasmine silver needle
For devotees of jasmine scented teas, this is a Wonderful Tea: a gentle yet definite body with the right balance of taste from a strong, fresh jasmine fragrance. For 3 minutes brewed 1.5 teaspoon of leaves to 1.5 cup of filtered heated water. Could hardly believe I had brewed an excellent cup of tea, which for me is that rare zen moment when a tea is first tasted. Thank you, Adagio, and all who farmed and developed this tea!
Has a great Jasmine smell and flavor. I have actually tried Jasmine yin hao and jasmine phoenix pearls as well, and I notice that this tea is a little bit more mellow than Jasmine yin hao, and the Yin Hao is more mellow than the Phoenix pearls. So depending on how strong you like your tea, you should already have your answer. I personally, do not like tea that is too strong so next time I'd go with the jasmine Yin Hao.
fragrant and mellow, a light, delicious cup of white tea
