★★★★☆
Good floral jasmine taste, lighter flavor, not overwhelming.
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.

This was a good tea good tea good tea good tea good tea
Best tea I have ever had. Smells like flowers, tastes amazing.
Great balance of jasmine and white. It's expensive, but very high quality.
I am basically a black tea drinker, but I enjoy an occasional jasmine tea for a change of pace. I tend to steep my tea for longer than the conventional time suggested, so I was taken aback initially by the light color that this tea had after 6-7 minutes. It delivers, however, big flavor. I would have prefered slightly less of the jasmine flavor, but it is very palatable nonetheless. I will buy another sample of this tea.
Huge Jasmine Aroma, if you inhale deep enough there's a chance you may detect some white tea in there. It brews a pale gold liquor. The mouth feel is light with a dry finish. The taste mirrors the Aroma exactly, big Jasmine with a distant white tea background.
I am very excited to try this chai or tea. It just sounds so tasty.
It has a nice fragrant smell very soothing. The flavor is almost sweet and calming
This tea had too strong of a flavor for me--it was good except for the jasmine overload
I love the idea of white tea with jasmine. This tastes more like what i'm used to from jasmine green tea and less perfumy than both the jasmine chun and jin hos. Still, a bit bitter for my taste. May have steeped too long.
I think I am starting to develop a taste for this tea. I was not crazy about the first cup I made, but now, on the third try, I am starting to like it.
Delicious. Rich. Smooth… what else can I say? I loved it!
Delicious. I bought the tea bags and I've been drinking two cups a days since I got them. The best part is that if I have a glass right before bed it doesn't keep me up all night.
Silver needle makes me feel like the young man that I used to be.It is misleading to me
the jasmine was a new element for me, so I am not a good judge. This wasn't one I would use all the time.
This tea isn't as 'pungent' as others have said. It has a LOVELY aroma, however, about it and it's a very soothing scent to sit down to at night. Tastes about average as far as Jasmine teas go - smooth and subtle even when seeped for a while.
A finely scented, high quality silver needle. This is one I will be proud to serve at future events.
Sure glad that I only ordered a sample. I found out quickly that floral flavors are not for me. Just me, but I felt like I was drinking hand lotion.
I'm usually not a fan of jasmine teas because I find the fragrance to be overpowering. However, the amount of jasmine in this tea is perfect. Much more subtle and smooth that most jasmine green teas it's a new favorite of mine.
light tea but very, very floral with a strong jasmine taste and smell. if you like florals than this is for you, but if not pass. the smell was so strong it gave me a headache.
This is a very mellow, very fine tea, good for sipping all day with a handy tea strainer.
I was concerned when I discovered that my usual jasmine #12 was no longer available, which I used to mix with my silver needle. Now I couldn't be happier!
Of all the jasmine teas that I've tasted, I've never tasted one as good as this jasmine silver needle. It has the perfect fragrance and has a light and balanced taste. I'm buying the 8 oz with my next order!
It is so expensive I always hesitate over the keys to order it. And then I do. And I am always glrad. It is sublime and elegant.
This was so good! It was very light and had a great jasmine scent.
Possible the best tea I have ever drunk. The flavor is amazing.
I don't like jasmine tea but this is a very mild jasmine flavor so I can drink it. I brewed it longer than 5 minutes, it seemed to take longer.
Even my husband, who disciplines himself to drink only decaf beverages made a second cup of this tea from a tea bag. It is perfectly balanced between tea and flower...worth every penny.
My first white tea and also my first tea with any infused jasmine. Definitely different than what I've had up to this point, but I found this tea to be rather delicious. As someone who usually sweetens his tea (that's the southerner in me), I didn't have to do it for this tea. The jasmine flavor and smell gave its own sweet component.
I love white tea, not a big fan of jasmine. But...this tea is really good. The jasmine is not overpowering.
A lovely tea, but not to be outdone by the #12 you sell.
Jasmine Silver Needle is a blend of Jasmine buds, which is a very soft and pleasing flower, mixed in the beneficial Silver Needle, which also gives one the special sensation of Jasmine, along with the otherwise dry taste of Silver Needle.
Light and aromatic, this is a fantastic relaxation tea. A good price for great flavor.
Amazing tea, its Peace in a cup, the smell and flavor is not overwhelming like other jasmine tea's i've had before.
I enjoy the jasmine, which is very present, not so strong that it overpowers, but its not simply aromatic either.
Very smooth. Jasmine flavor was not too overwhelming. Re-steeped about 4 times. Was excellent iced!!!
This is tea was great. Although it is not as strong jasmine flavored at the Jasmine Phoenix Pearl tea, this is a nice blend of jasmine and white tea. I like to brew this around the same temperature as the original instructions on the Jasmine Phoenix Pearl tea so it does not turn bitter.
This tea is absolutely delicious, the jasmine is not overpowering and the white tea flavor is just as delicate as the original. I also use it to brew my kombucha... it's like champagne.
Wonderful floral scent, sweet light, and fabulous.
This is my favorite "go to" tea. It has a subtle but amazing flavor and mixes well with other teas if I'm in the mood for something stronger.
The combination of this light white tea and jasmine is superb! Can be brewed a bit longer for a stronger taste if desired.
Very fragrant, but not an overpowering flavor. Would definitely recommend.
I love this tea. It is floral and delicate with a fantastic aroma.
This tea is amazing. Sweet and flavorful. I ordered a sample a few months back and just ordered two containers. One for my Mom's 60th birthday and one for myself. Can't wait till it gets here.
WOW!! I have had Several different kids of Jasmine Pearl and just made my first cup of this Jasmine Silver Needle Tea! What a great way to wake up in the morning, the subtle flavor and the calming aroma is perfect!
As a whole, jasmine teas are great. This one, however, is simply heavenly. The subtle taste of silver needles combines with the fragrant scent of jasmine to create an addicting tea that doesn't overpower or underwhelm, and best of all, you can get multiple infusions out of this tea. The jasmine scent disappears fairly rapidly after the first infusion, so that may be a drawback, but I like the increasing prevalence of the silver needles taste after each infusion.
At least as good as any jasmine I've ever tried. Subtler flavors in the white variety went over well with me.
I wouldnt say you really need to love jasmine to enjoy this tea, it just does help. I, love the smell of jasmines, just not the taste. Although its not overpowering, the jasmine flavor is just not something i could imagine drinking that often. Yet the combo with silver needle is great and a great idea and will be pleasurable to those who love jasmine and silver needle. Buy a sample
Soft, flavorful...great tea to wake up to while strolling the garden. 7 mins @ 180 is perfect - never bitter. Can take a second steeping
I love this tea. It combines two of my favorite things - jasmine and white tea.
