This tea is the most beautiful tea I have ever tasted or smelled. It has a heady floral aroma, like honeysuckle, and sweet. The color is pale and delicate. I didn't bother sweetening it with a spoonful of honey the way I do most tea, because it is perfect on it's own. I can't imagine changing the flavor, it is perfect as it is.
Nice fragrant tea. I love jasmine downy pearls... and this is a great white tea substitute.
Among the finest teas i have ever had the pleasure to drink.
I was looking for a loose leaf version of a white jasmine tea that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg and tasted as good if not better as The Republic of Tea's bagged version. That's exactly what I got here.
Delicate but with plenty of flavor. I am not normally a jasmine fan but there's just the right amount of flavor and aroma. I love this tea and wish I had ordered a larger size rather than sample pack.
I don't really get the point of this tea. The jasmine is just too overpowering. I love silver needle, but it's flavor is subdued by the powerful fragrance of jasmine. It's like riding an elevator with an old lady wearing too much cheap perfume.
Very light bodied, sweet, and highly aromatic tea. Enjoyable in the late evening! I wish they had more in stock to be able to order more than just a sampler.
Love this tea! Not a big fan of jasmine - but it is quite subtle in this tea.
Perhaps this is my fault for not realizing what jasmine meant, but this has a VERY strong aroma and taste. I felt like I was drinking a cup of perfume... Ick!
IF you like jasmine scented teas, you will like this. You can definitely get the jasmine in this. White tea comes through, being grassy. I'm finding that I'm not a fan of mixing tea with flowers, but if that's your thing, give this a try.
I am biased toward jasmine teas. The jasmine is quite potent in this tea, but that is to be expected with white teas. I tend to drink this when I feel like winding down.
This is one of my absolute favorite teas. Jasmine is a great flavor, and pairing it with white tea is great because it doesn't get overwhelmed. Be careful not to oversteep, though, or use too high of a temperature, because it can get a little bitter.
This white tea is superb! It has a hint of jasmine but it not overpowering. A perfect balance of white and jasmine.
White tea just isn't to my liking I suppose. I tried this after reading so many positive reviews but just wasn't for me.
A bit too strong for my taste, but obviously a high quality tea.
Hands down, this is the only white tea I will drink. I've tried to like white tea for all its benefits, but it's usually too bland for me. The jasmine gives it such a nice flavor. I drink this several times a week.
Very good tea. We wanted to try this tea type of tea because of its health benefits, but was not too keen on the taste. Add the jasmine, as they did in this tea, and we were sold!
I found that this tea tasted a lot better cold than hot. If you like jasmine I would try this iced.
Another winner. Everyone that I have served a cup to has asked for its name. Its on my reorder list. Just a pinch in a cup and hot water don't even use a defuser.
If you like jasmine flavor then you will like this tea. Since it's a white tea there isn't much that stands in the way of the jasmine.
this is my preferred white tea. The subtle jasmine really floats my boat
To be honest, I don't know a whole lot about tea, however, I do know the taste of Jasmine and it permeates this tea. First white tea I have ever tried and did not realize how mild it really is. I like to steep it for the full 5 min. to get the full flavor.All in all, a good tea!
This tea is really good, but I feel that the jasmine flavor overwhelms the flavors of the white tea.
I am a huge fan of Jasmine tea, and adagio never lets me down with their jasmine. I also love the light flavor of silver needle. Needless to say I adored the mix. I enjoyed this tea just as much as the jasmine phoenix pearls. I highly recommend this tea!
This is my favorite tea... ever. Very light and smooth.
This is a very light and mild tea. Just wonderful!
I haven't really been a fan of white teas, as they typically don't have enough flavor for me, but this if flavorful without tasting like perfume. I love this tea.
The best white tea I have ever had! Being a sucker for jasmine, I had to try this tea. It has a light white tea flavor, and the jasmine comes out more and more with every sip. This tea won't last me very long.
Not at all my style of tea. Jasmine just does not enhance the flavor of this tea.
I ordered this in bulk and then I started drinking this and then noticed a japanese or chinese cigarette butt sitting inside with the leaves... ???????!??!??!?!?!?!?!?!!?!!?!!?!?!??!?!?!??!??!!?!!?!??!?!?!!??!?!??!!??!?!?!?!!???????
second time purchasing this tea. lovely every day tea. i enjoy it at work every chance i get.
I can not say enough good things about this tea. It's the very best white tea with just enough jasmine for us jasmine lovers.
This is a nice light jasmine. It is a good evening tea (or anytime really). The flavor is more subtle than other jasmines
I love the smell of jasmine and in a silver needle white tea, it's perfection. Could ask for more. One of my favorites.
I love this tea, I consider it to be a perfect balance of subtle sweetness and elegant smell of jasmine. I've tried different jasmine blends and I like this the most because I can enjoy the smell and taste of jasmine with out an overpowering floral perfume like sensation.
My favourite of all teas I've purchased. Well worth the price. The taste is delicate and light, but still full of white team and jasmine flavour.
This is probably my favorite tea. So beautifully floral, every time I sip a cup it automatically makes me slow down and enjoy the moment. If you're not into perfume-y teas, this is not for you. If you're a Jasmine lover, though, this is the one.
I love whites and I love jasmine ... well, there you go!
This is one of my favorite teas. I love jasmine tea. By itself, I could drink jasmine everyday and be completely satisfied. The scent, the taste, every part of it makes me feel good. Combining it with Silver Needle makes it even better. The taste is delicate yet lasting. I had only sampled this before when a friend purchased it, but instantly wanted a bag of my own. I found it a little pricey, but worth it, and found myself wishing that they sell a larger bag than just 8 oz!
While jasmine is not particularly pleasant, the combination jasmine with silver needle is.
Normally, I'm not a big fan of jasmine tea, but this silver needle convinced me otherwise! The jasmine flavor is not too subdued, but it's not overwhelming either. It seems to be nicely tempered by the light flavor of the white tea. The aroma of this tea is simply a beautiful thing, and the taste follows suit!
I like the taste of this tea is very healthy and tasty
First time trying white tea and I enjoyed this tea quite a bit. Didn't even need sweetening!
Very fresh, pure jasmine, reminds me of a midnight walk in the South...
Extremely smooth and wonderful tasting tea. Good for a Saturday morning or for dessert.
There is a reason it's rated so high in the rankings, it's that good. Not a daily drinker, but a tea to sit back and enjoy as frequently as your wallet will allow.
Very strong taste, for me I would have rated it awful, but that's because I have found that I don't like Jasmine. So if you like Jasmine this is perfect for you.
Excellent delicate flavor of jasmine. I get two very good brewings.
An incredibly relaxing tea that still gives you some energy. A well made cup nearly tastes like you're drinking a flower. The aroma is dizzyingly pleasant, particularly from the bag, and the taste is so light and uplifting you may start to float. It steeps multiple times and holds its flavor well after about the third steeping. However I do not recommend this if you are not fond of particularly fragrant teas.
This is simply the best green tea I have ever tasted!
