If you like jasmine, you'll love this tea. I'm not generally a fan of green teas. If I were, this is one I would choose. It has a sweet jasmine scent and a light flowery flavor. Not strong or overwhelming. Just aaahhh. But for me, I'd take a cup of English breakfast over this any day.
If you like jasmine and light delicate teas, you'll love this. Slightly sweet, prominent jasmine flavor. Delicious!
Gentle, mild and slightly floral, this Jasmine tea is almost naturally sweet. Even when over-brewed, it's not bitter or astringent. When hot, the floral taste is evident, but as it cools, it fades to the background without disappearing altogether. The result is a cup of tea that begs for a rebrew.
I’m generally not big on floral teas but I really enjoyed this one! Silver needle is one of my favorites and the delicate addition of the jasmine was quite pleasant.
For me this tea was overpowering in its floral flavor and scent. I’m not a fan of floral teas at all and jasmine can give me a headache.
Jasmine aroma definitely present. I enjoy jasmine greatly, so I didn't find the flavor overpowering at all. If anything I really like that the white tea allowed the meaning to come through more.
I like jasmine teas; I think white teas are fine. This tea captured both: the jasmine is lovely, while the white tea is an interesting change from the green tea that one would expect. However, I prefer a jasmine green.
This tea is a winner all around for me. I love the delicacy of white tea and there is something about jasmine scent on a tea that I adore. So, this tea is perfection in my book! This is an elegant sipper. You should have the time to enjoy and contemplate this tea. The firing at the end does add a nice little nutty taste that enhances, not overpowers, the jasmine. I drink this and feel content. Happy Sipping!
The jasmine is strong in this one! Steeped at 176° for 2 1/2 minutes, the scent is lovely, but the taste is too perfume-y. I prefer a more balanced, lighter floral essence and a bit more tea flavor. I’ll stick to my Jasmine Phoenix Pearls!
I think I might've over steeped this. I was expecting a light floral jasmine tea but all I'm getting is a heavy, dull taste that in no way resembles jasmine. I usually like white teas, I think one just isn't for me.
The scent of jasmine; Somehow delicate, yet strong; How I love thee, so! (HAIKU review)
A bit too floral for my usual liking, trying a bit of my tea of the month in my Shizuka teapot really improved the experience for me. Drinking it slowly, with the tea gradually changing in flavor over time so that the subtle floral aroma and bitterness was joined by a gentle spice that I would not have noticed before. Definitely the kind of tea to drink traditionally if you want to enjoy it to its fullest.
I enjoyed this tea much more than I thought I would, not being a big fan of jasmine teas. But the white tea base is very tasty and isn't overwhelmed by the jasmine aroma and taste. The flowery essence of the jasmine is matched well with the tea in intensity and flavor. It is a very smooth and soothing cup with a clean, light finish.
I love jasmine tea! So light in taste and smells amazing.
if your a fan of any of the flavored white teas I'm pretty sure this is the base. it has a very light floral aroma and a slight astringent taste. it goes down very smoothly as well.
This is a very soft, delicate jasmine tea. It brews into a lovely light yellow green and smells quite strongly of jasmine. The taste is soft and relaxing.
What a beautiful tea! Jasmine is just perfectly present.
Brewed at 180, the liquor is pale and lovely, the jasmine aroma is exquisite, and the texture is silken. One of the best jasmine teas I've tried yet.
For a silver needle blend, the jasmine completely over powered it. I had to add a lot of sugar to make it pleasant and only then did I like it. But for a rare: expensive tea like this I shouldn’t have to add a ton of sugar just to enjoy it. 175 degrees for 2 minutes because silver needle must be handled with great care.
Lovely tea. Sweet jasmine aroma. This tea was light and very soft with jasmine flavor that was not over powering It has good bones as well, I steeped 5 infusions and the jasmine was still present. This tea is the real deal. Very special tea, and at the top of my list of favorites.
A few days ago, I compared Sencha Premiere to a Spring morning. Well, Jasmine Silver Needles is like a Summer evening. Drinking this tea gave me that same free, happy, young feeling I get on summer nights.
When I opened up the package, the most lovely jasmine aroma surrounded me. I was in heaven, since jasmine is one of my favorite scents and this is the most natural, beautiful jasmine you can experience outside of actually sniffing the flower. Brewing, the aroma becomes even stronger and gorgeous. Once in my cup, it reminded me of a humid summer evening with jasmine carrying on the breeze. As for taste, it is as delicious as it smells. The jasmine is still there and still beautiful but it is not too strong and the mild floral flavor is absolutely perfect with the light-as-air flavor of the white tea.
I adore jasmine tea and this one is no different. My typical preferences is for jasmine green tea because of the complexness the green tea adds to the experience. However, I could see myself sipping this when I want a blend that is lighter in tea base and heavier on the jasmine. Definitely try this tea if you are a fan of light and floral teas.
Light and delicate, fragrantly floral and delicious. An excellent jasmine tea.
Heady jasmine tempers this divine tea. Refreshing and not overly-flowery. I used approximately 2 loose teaspoons as it was a challenge to predictably measure. Would definitely order again.
This tea was SO aromatic and beautiful light. I liked it as it...and I also added it to a cream and made a jasmine silver needle whipped cream on top of a strawberry shortcake. Delish.
This is my favorite tea thus far. Smooth as velvet and full of flavor without being overwehelming.
I haven't had tea this good in a long time. Beautiful jasmine scent, lovely light flavor.
This is my FAVORITE tea ever. I've always been a huge fan of Jasmine tea and I tried this same type of tea when I worked in a tea shop. That shop has since closed after a global superpower purchased them and turned them into bottled tea. SO, after I finished my stock of that, which had lost most of its flavor, I decided to try the Adagio version and it's better than I could have ever imagined. I brew 16 oz at a time, with one teaspoon of german rock sugar and it is perfect. It's great without the added sugar, but the amber sweetness makes the floral Jasmine sing.
I really loved the earthiness of this delicate tea. Lives up to its reputation.
Very good tea, good flora, a bit light for me. Excellent high quality tea.
One of the best jasmine teas we’ve ordered. First brew is amazing; recommend adding a minute longer to brew time for second time. HIgh quality tea.
By far my favorite tea. You feel relaxed the moment you take your first sip. Highly recommend! I actually re-use it three times.
This is maybe my favorite jasmine tea. The silver needle is a wonderful delicate but not thinly-flavored backdrop for a really great full jasmine scent and flavor. None of that powdery cheap version of jasmine here! This tea brews quickly, but instead of timing it I actually usually decide when it's done by smell. When that wonderful jasmine flower flavor starts rising up all around me, I know it's at the perfect point.
Great tea for those seeking a strong jasmine flavor.
At first I steeped this with water that was too hot and it ended up dark and had a strong herbaceous taste. Once I steeped it at the right temperature the flavors mellowed out to a very pleasant and mild tasting tea.
Absolutely delightful! My favorite jasmine tea so far!
This is one of my favorite teas! The softness of the Jasmine balances out my usual green teas on those mornings I want a peaceful awakening!
Wonderfully light and floral taste. By the time it's done brewing it's almost perfect drinking temperature.
While there's no such thing as a bad jasmine tea, this is one of my favorites. Not as light as a jasmine green, but still a soft mouth flavor.
Very good! Love the delicacy of the tea with the bitterness towards the end
Best green/white tea on this site. Smooth like butter and sweet without any actual sugar or butter. I also tried Jasmine Phoenix Pearls, but that one is not as smooth, even though it's stronger. I think Silver Needle is worth the price.
Good subtle flavor, maybe too subtle sometimes. Not my favorite white tea but still really good nonetheless.
I love this white tea by far the best. It has a mild jasmine flavor and I find it very relaxing
This is one of my favorites, nice and sweet but not too sweet.
Lighter jasmine taste. A favorite of mine and my husband.
The smell of this tea, when I opened it, was enticing. After brewing it according to the instructions, the mellow taste was invigorating on a cold afternoon.
Perfumed, aromatic, fragrant (this tea smells like great)... The pale, golden color of champagne, the tea is both dry and delicious.
Very enjoyable white tea with delicate floral notes. I was able to get three decent resteeps western style before the resulting cup was too weak for my preferences. The liquor is pale in color, but the overall mouthfeel is velvety and was a treat to drink.
It has a nice, mild taste, clean taste. Not too heavy, but a wonderful tea, I highly recommend!
Not a tea aficionado, but I still love tea. If you love jasmine tea, you will love this one. I'm not all that familiar with white tea so I tried a sample of this as an introduction. It's SO GOOD! The jasmine is really strong, so if you're not keen on jasmine tea, this might be too much for you. I finished this faster than my other tea samples because I loved it so much. I'll definitely be buying some more of this in the future.
Scented to perfection with jasmine, amazing cold-brewed. I was able to get six infusions cold-brewed with each being more tea-forward and less jasmine forward, providing a wonderful variety of experience.
