I do not like tea with floral notes so this tea is a no for me.
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.

9/30/2023 - How tastes change! As i got more skilled at brewing my tea properly, I found I really enjoy jasmine tea and now have several kinds in my tea stash! Yum!! There are a few teas that will never be ones I enjoy such as very grassy green teas and teas with heavy rose, but Jasmine I can truthfully say is now a favorite! I just had to learn with time and experience how to brew different teas the right way! :) Made all the difference!
5/2/2021 - Jasmine is just a bit too perfume-y for my taste. The white tea is completely overpowered by the jasmine. I don't like floral teas. For me this tea was drinkable but not really enjoyable. Jasmine just has an odd aroma and a too floral taste. But for someone who likes florals and jasmine, this would be perfect. Nothing wrong with this tea -- high quality. It's just a 'not for me'' tea.
light and delicious with that pleasant floralness that jasmine is known for
Very fragrant but not too overpowering or perfumed. Loved the balanced flavor. One of the few teas that I enjoyed without cream!
its reputation proceeds it, absolutely phenomenal quality tea. the needles feel so soft, you know youll be taken care of after a cup. (also, its quite refreshing!)
Aromatic and delicate, this lovely tea is what I would choose if I could only have one tea in my home. Two steeps of this tea has been my morning ritual for many years now. Worth every penny!
Very light and smith jasmine tea that’s not too harsh but has the same flowery taste you’d associate with any Jasmine tea.
I’ve been drinking this “grandpa style” and it is amazing. The first sip of this tea is akin to plunging your face into a blooming Jasmine bush. The Jasmine is very forward but not overwhelming at all, the I’ve been drinking this “grandpa style” and it is amazing. The first sip of this tea is akin to plunging your face into a blooming jasmine bush. The Jasmine is very forward but not overwhelming at all, the decadence of Jasmine smoothly parts, making way for a perfectly paired tender leafed “needle” green tea. The roundness of this pairing is remarkable.
You get the great soft characteristics of the Silver Needle with a big punch of jasmine. It's just enough to not overpower the white tea. An amazing tea if it's what you are in the mood for.
Tastes and smells like a gentler jasmine tea. Very nice flavor, and it looks fancy too - in case you like serving tea to guests.
Lovely, light, and smooth. No bitterness or astringency. The jasmine flavor in this is fairly light--it adds a nice complexity to the white tea without smacking you upside the head with a floral--so it might be good for folks who want a lighter jasmine. I actually like this much better than Adagio's plain Silver Needle. Either the two are sourced a little differently, or the jasmine adds just the layer of flavor that the plain Silver Needle is lacking. This one was a definite re-buy for me.
This is so delicate and tasty, with the hint of Jasmine I love. I could drink this tea all day... and I do get about 3 steeps, increasing the steeping time for the 2nd and 3rd steep.
I bought this to see what it's like and I'm throughly surprised. It's a light floral taste and smells good, though I have a hard tike describing it. Definitely worth it.
I absolutely love jasmine silver needle tea. It is worth every penny, when it is a good tea. Unfortunately, I did not like this tea at all. I could not smell or taste jasmine in the tea. I was so looking forward to this tea, and it just failed me so miserably. I don't smell the scent of jasmine in the tea. The flavor was bland. It did not have that wonderful floral taste that I expect in any jasmine tea, let alone a silver needle jasmine tea. I am severely disappointed in this.
Very Jasmine forward. I prefer the perfumy jasmine infused green/white teas. This one doesn't disappoint in flavor but falls a little short on scent. Would still order again
Jasmine Silver Needle is an excellent choice for a cup full of jasmine green tea flavor that leaves you feeling more energized after mid-afternoon lunch time. The flavor is not overtly bitter and overpowering, it is a good choice for a beverage that compliments the sweetness of desserts or savory flavors of fish or steak. The quality of the leaves was outstanding with the loose leaf teas enabling customization of its vast flavor profile.
I love white silver needle teas, and this one is another great offering from Adagio. The jasmine is a bit strong, but still an excellent, relaxing afternoon tea.
Love this tea, very smooth. This is my had a horrible day tea and just need to unwind and let it go.
A delightful variation of Silver Needle, which is my favorite! The Jasmine Silver Needle has a more floral flavor and fragrance. Wonderful any time of day.
One of my favorites! It's a nice relaxing treat but not too much caffeine when I want tea. It's a very classy drink
I couldn’t really taste much flavor with this tea. I’m not sure if I didn’t use enough but in the end I decided I still enjoyed it.
I bought this tea to learn more about white teas and I think my conclusion is that they're good, but maybe not my cup. The lightness of the flavor makes this a tea well suited to summer or spring, but not to fall or winter. The Jasmine was a very nice addition, however, and filled my nose in a very pleasant manner.
I am not good at describing the features of my teas, but I can tell you that this is a must have for me!! The fragrance sets the tone for my morning. I love it alone, and sometimes combine it with a plain” white@ tea to enhance the experience. ♥️♥️♥️
Light and perfumery. I can drink this hot or cold and is one the of only teas that I have that I go back for that 3rd steep.
This is a great tea to drinking not to over to strong. Great taste
this is a tea that uncle iroh would like, a fine tea flavored with jasmine.
Great hot & cold! Nice jasmine flavor. If you like jasmine this is a must try!
Delicat Jasmine and white tea flavors blend beautifully together. Fresh, light and smooth. A truly lovely cup.
Fresh, light, and floral. Adagio teas are good quality.
I'm usually an oolong jasmine fan, but this tea is excellent. It's my granddaughter's favorite, I send it to her in Texas a lot. This is one of the best jasmines here. Truly one of the best jasmines.
Got to try this in the sampler and had to order more, now my go to morning tea.
Very similar to the Jasmine Phoenix Pearls, but a bit softer. I drink this after I've had 2 cups of green tea to avoid excessive caffeine consumption. Can get 2 brews out of a serving.
Lovely Jasmine scent and light flavor. I switch between this and jasmine phoenix pearls.
My favorite white tea. It is wonderful hot or iced.
Smells and tastes amazing on its own but is also one of the few white teas I’ve found that you can still taste even after infusing with fruit. Definitely one of my new favorites.
I adore this tea. So light and perfect for summer time.
This tea was my favorite from the jasmine teas sampler, so I couldn't resist getting the largest bag as soon as it was in stock. Hot tea season in my household ended soon after, and I'm very happy to say that I love this tea even more as a cold brew. It's just dreamy.
A very mellow cup with an almost vegetal aftertaste with each sip. The green tea honey I tried with it was delicious & definitely contributed to the silver needle’s floral palette. I don’t think I’d change anything with my steeping process, though for some extra pizzazz sometime, I may throw in some ginger root or dried orange. I think either of those flavors would go wonderfully with this tea.
Amazing! Soft, light, and delicate, but still complex~
Whether you are a beginning tea drinker or a seasoned one, this tea is perfect for a relaxing time. My favorite
Lovely jasmine tea. Such a delicate and delicious flavor.
such a beautiful fragrance and subtle but distinctive flavor. it its pricy compared to other options but worth it.
First white tea I ever tried . Super light flavor . I love it
Love this after meals, flavorful and mellow. Don’t be afraid that it is almost colour less, the flavor is still there
This tea is amazing. It has come to be my favorite, especially for sitting and reading, which I do a lot of. I enjoy the subtle aroma as much as the taste. I am sensitive to caffeine and the low concentration allows me to drink the tea late in the day.
A fine cup of tea. Usually save this for a special occasion or a time when I can savor my cup of tea. Delightful taste of jasmine without the bite if it is slightly over steeped.
This is my all-time absolute favorite tea. I discovered it several years ago at another store which was eaten by a much larger *coffee* company, and I'm so glad I found this here! I've been an Adagio fan ever since finding this tea for sale. This is a great jasmine tea because the jasmine pairs even better with the silver needle leaves than it does with green tea, and you don't have to worry as much about over-steeping it. Drink this tea and be transported to an ancient garden!
Not as good as the jasmine dragon because it’s not as floral probably b/c of the way the tea isn’t in balls or possibly because the tea is so narrow and pin straight, but this tea is still worthy of an award.
A good tea, slightly astringent if not brewed well. But good
The jasmine silver needle tea 🍵 had a light and fruit type flavor
